[Healeys] spin on filter update

I posted on here asking if anyone experienced a slight drop in oil pressure
with the spin on oil filter conversion.  Thank you for the responses I
received.  It seemed though that no one said that they experienced the same
drop in pressure.  So I decided to put the canister filter back on with a new
filter while changing nothing else.  Well it seems that the original canister
filter has slightly better oil pressure then the spin on filter with a Super
Tech (Wal mart) filter installed.  Now it makes me wonder if it is the filter
adaptor or the cheap filter?  Do different brands effect the pressure?  The
canister filter holds much more oil and is much larger, is that why- less
restriction?
