I did the spin on adapter on my 57 Olds. I am quite happy with it.
For one thing, a quality spin on filter will trap much smaller micron particles than the cannister filter. I am using a larger capacity GM diesel filter on mine that traps down to 5 microns. The best the cannister filter will do is trap 20 micron particles. Plus the cannister is a mess to change and usually leaks.
Unless you are attempting to keep your Olds factory original, I would definitely go for the spin on setup. You could always keep the cannister hardware and change back, if it is absolutely necessary to have your Olds 100% original for a show or sell at the Barret-Jackson auction.
