[Healeys] spin on filter update

Not all filters are the same and some can actually do some damage. Please
take a look at:

Subject: [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?
