I am at the yearly national Corvair Convention in Knoxville Tennessee, and my WIX filter got bent when my engine shifted back slightly and the result was oil oil everywhere.
I went to the Corvair parts vendors area and found a fellow selling 3 ancient genuine GM AC Delco oil filters. I paid $5 each for them, but before I put one on, I asked a few of the Corvair mechanics in attendance, and some said NOT to use them as the filter media has deteriorated and will block the oil passages in short order.
The alternative is a made in Taiwan filter for $7
Thoughts?
I have videos of the car and the oil oil everywhere at CORVAIRWILD on youtube
