I recently had the engine on the BT7 rebuilt as the thrust washers in the
bottom end fell out resulting in damage to the block. Prior to the rebuild I
had installed an oil filter conversion which worked just fine. After rebuild,
we could not raise oil pressure (yes, the spin on was replaced correctly) after
trying numerous times. Replaced the spin on conversion with the original unit
and instantly got pressure.
Not sure why.

Generally, I agree. BUT ... the spin-on oil filter adapter is a major
time/effort saver. The original Purolator/Tecalemit units are a PITA to change,
and I always worry I didn't do it right and the filter is getting blocked or
bypassed. Of course, you can bolt up the old contraption in no time if you're
overcome with purism.
And, I'm sold on Pertronix--engines run better with them and, of course, they
save time/effort too. My dad and I have 5 classic cars between us; all got
Pertronix Ignitors. We don't have to futz with points and there's usually
something else that needs to be done on them.
At times, I've had 3 cars to maintain. Anything that sames time and hassle, and
arguably improves the car's performance, is good by me. Agree on the
alternator/generator.
