[DeTomaso] good oil filter

[Ken Green]

I recently talked to a couple of the reuseable filter makers.  They aren't cheap, but may have one significant advantage for a Cleveland.  They claim the pressure drop across their filters is a lot less than the drop across conventional filters.  That would seem to be a really good way to get more oil flow without a high pressure or high volume pump that adds to the load on the distributor gear and pin.
 
If anyone has gone to one of these lately, according to the manufacturers, you should have seen higher oil pressure.

I just tore some new Frams apart last fall.      Bad.
The K&N HP-3001 seems pretty good.
The price varies a great deal though. $11 to $39
