I had one on a TR3 that I auto-X'd and also ran in a
few time-trials at Bridehampton, NY
race circuit. Also had one on a TR-6. I had no
apparent problems.
I used a Purolator or Fram filter. I just took the
"adapter" to an auto parts store and mated up
the adapter to a filter that fit. Unfortuneatly
I don't recall the filter I used.
Cheers,
Bill Sohl
