There are spin on type bypass cartridges available.  I have a Mitsubishi truck with a turbo 4 that has a normal full flow filter as well as a factory installed bypass cartridge.  All the oil that goes from the pump to the bearings goes through the full flow.  all excess to bearing needs is routed by the oil pressure regulator to the bypass filter.  Oil/filter changes are expensive!

 

I think bypass cartridge for that application would fit the remote adapters.  I'll check at next oil change.

 

But, if I can make it work, I'd much rather just have a real full flow adaptation to my '56.  Maybe one of these days.

While I haven't run the engine yet, I did just install a spin on bypass filter.  The mounting base is a WIX 24755 and the filter is WIX 51050.  Both of which I bought on Amazon are a specifically for bypass systems.

Don't know what happened to the picture so here it is again hopefully viewable.

Little off topic, but if you put a radio in your truck, let me know if you have issues with it whining with the engine...I’ve heard those plug wires that are the “fake cloth” are non-resistor and don’t work well with any modern radios.

I have no plans for a radio, one of the reasons for using these wires. I would suspect there would be interference as like you said there isn't any sheilding. If plans change and I add a radio I will let you know.
