Ah, this is one change I made immediately during my restoration. Having
started life with my first car, a 1964 Sprite, I never wanted to touch a
cartridge type filter again, so I installed a canister conversion. See
http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3Handbook/7.php#navbar. It's not original, but if
the goal is daily driving and frequent oil changes, it's a whole lot cleaner.
