Hi guys

My 67 still where it's original canister type oil filter .
but i have a leak at the center , i think there is a gasket or a seal  but i can't disassemble the lug and the housing to see why this leak.

You can get a conversion part to use the spin-on type oil filters.

 I have seen a repair kit at LI Corvettes for the canisters. Probably other places sell it too.
Here is a link to the one at LI Corvette:

The long bolt is a friction fit with the internal spring. Just take a hammer and a block of wood and wack it out to access the seal.
