Oh...  THAT adaptor.  OK...  I got some sort of backwoods notion that 
another adaptor to mount a different filter was being discussed.    I'm 
familiar with the PF2, fits 440s and 383s and... a 426.   Bought a fair 
quantity of 'em in my day.   Still have one or two.   They are not small...

I somehow was thinking that another adaptor had been cooked up for a 
smaller more modern filter.  PF2s aren't all that common anymore.   Still, 
they're easier to get than Vair filters.

Big filters also flow more freely and help oil pressure.

Noted.    Now I feel silly for going off on a tangent involving 
vaporware.   Happens to me all the time...
