Need Advise On Oil Filter Conversion

[pumppy10]

want to update my flatty to a spin on new style oil filter, what have you guys found to work?

Why? They don't protect your engine as well as a bypass.

Had the in line line throw away filter. I removed it and run no filter. change your oil.

Looks like this kit would work well.

What is wrong with your existing filter? Is it broke?

[TodFitch]

Unless you have one of those Chrysler engines that can be setup for a full flow filter, I'd suggest that if you mush change things and plumb it for a spin-on that you use a filter on it designed for bypass. I believe that Amsoil and others make them.

 

The reason? A filter designed for bypass use can have higher back pressure which means it can be designed to filter out smaller contaminants than a full flow filter.

If you want to build a mount for an add on filter base and filter check out:

Wix 24755 $35 at summit

Napa 4755 $ ??

Baldwin ob 1305 $ ??

All mounts made for bypass filters only- use a 5/8"-18 thread that is diff. from the usual sizes.

 

Filters to match:

napa 1050

wix 51050

Bypass only type filters.

Google the wix # and there is pics avail. that show the restricted inlet in the filter. Specs are 10 micron, 1-3 gpm flow .

Total cost less mount you build should not be over $75.

 

Make your own lines or get sizes and lenghts needed and take to a Napa store and have them make them. I did!    

Some this info found on a powerwagon forum with a post started by a Greybeard member ( name

sounds familar) with pics of install. Sorry to everyone put I did not pay enough attention as to which powerwagon forum.

 

Anyway my 2 cents

A dual oil filter adapter would be nice.

ok, someone please clear this up for me, it was my understanding that the oiling system on the flatty left something to desire, I am building a motor for the car with some performance upgrades and want the best reasonable oiling set up I can have. Should I leave the old setup with the cartage or upgrade?

[P15-D24]

Might start here and here.  I think the biggest issue with what you have is the cartridge filters are getting hard to find.  Just swap it out for a bypass that uses a drop in filter.   

[pumppy10]

ok. that's all I needed to see. the old stays on with a new element. Thank you, that was good reading

Where did you get the information that the oiling system was not up to snuff? If, with your performance upgrades, you plan on spinning the engine in excess of five grand for extended periods of time then you might have some oiling issues. What is your goal for the engine?

[pumppy10]

not going to twist the rpms  to high, well mabey a few times, but looking for any upgrades that will help to keep it from going boom

[pumppy10]

^{i was up to the car show in maghangi pa last weekend and saw a flatty with an external dry sump set up ran off  the crank, looked like a sweet set up, but big bucks} 

[Don Coatney]

Once again where did you get the information that the oiling system was not up to snuff?

 

What performance upgrades do you have planned?

[pumppy10]

read it on a different site,do not remember which one, i have been looking at so many lately. As for upgrades, split header, multi carbs, mild cam, cross drill crank, hei dist. That's all i got so far

[pumppy10]

_{if i can dig up a 230 crank set up would like to go with that as well}

[Don Coatney]

I only know of one guy who cross drilled his crank. He has a pulling tractor and runs it a 5 grand on every pull.
