Guest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 Hello to the List:<P>I am soliciting suggestions as to the best approach to replace/substitute/modify an existing, original L-8 oil filter. I am hesitant to cut and weld the existing filter per kits I have seen advertised and wonder if there are any other solutions. The car is an unrestored daily driver (82K miles) and not intended for show<P>Rgds & thanks,<P>Paul Edwards<BR>New Jersey, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2001 Share Posted October 5, 2001 I never studied up on this too much. Burr Ripley, who has (had?) a real nice Light Eight coupe has done a lot of work on early Packard oil filters and has some sort of adapto-kit to secretly use a spin-on (maybe) inside an original filter canister. He's in Freeville,N.Y. area code 607. Maybe at least talk to him about your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Hello to the List:<P>My thanks to BillP for information on L-8 Purolator oil filter conversions.<P>I ended up purchasing the spin on conversion kit through CCA. Well made and works as advertised. Unfortunately, after about 100 miles it developed a pin hole leak in the rear solder joint. Will have to pull the unit and resolder when the weather warms up.<P>Rgds,<P>Paul Edwards<BR>New Jersey, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
