You want it reasonable ... why did you buy a 65 B??  All kidding aside, if 
you do want it reasonable, you can buy a spin-on oil filter adapter, and use 
a fram or similar filter.  It won't be original, but it will be a fairly 
easy job.  Those O rings on the original sure are a pain aren't they.  I 
lost an engine to a poorly seated ring, but it seemed to be good for over 
500 miles before it happened.  I still kept the original though, because I'm 
just that way.
