One of the problems with the modified original filter, with a modern filter installed is as follows: the threads holding the two sections together sometimes seize up and cannot be unscrewed. I damaged my filter, trying to get it apart. Forunately,(hah) I had a NOS filter, and installed it. The filter media came out of the filter, unbeknown to me, plugged lines, orifices, and everything else, and caused engine failure. There is nothing wrong using one of these spin together filters, but remember to apply neverseize to the threads upon reassembly. Hand tight should be sufficient
