what if you found a suitable size Fram filter and cut it open to get the element out of it? that way you could keep the patina look and still have modern filtration? the flip side would be if you restoring it, get someone to make the stickers and then get it rechromed. hell with my nova i was lucky enough to score some original 60's license plates and even the registration stickers that went on the window. the stickers were repoped for movie props but i bought the remainders so my car will be rocking vintage plates, stickers and even the license plate frame.

A Franz filter will not give you modern filtration. The Franz is a bypass filter. Only some of the oil is filtered at any time and over time, all of the oil is filtered.

The boys I ran with used Amsoil and never changed their oil. Every 3k, they replaced the Franz filter and added a quart. Right or wrong, those fellows never lost an engine due to oiling issues.
