I need some advice, I have an original Beehive oil filter. I ran it mounted on the firewall years ago. I used it at that time with a roll of tissue paper for a filter. I never had a problem with it. At that time it was in a 34 vicky, which I ran at the drags a number of times. That was thirty years ago I am now doing my 3 wdw and using the same engine that I ran in the Vicky . My question is should I run it again or am I creating more issues for my self. I like the idea of 5 quarts of oil instead of 4.Does the oil drain back into engine when not runing. Also is there a modern filter that fits an originl filter. Thanks Would like to know what you guys think. Stan
