Oil Filter Fittings

[b.hawk]

I am installing the bypass oil filter on my rebuilt Dodge six. One of the straight nipples has an extremely small hole (to restrict oil flow). Does this fitting go in the inlet or outlet of the oil filter or where the return line connects to the block.

 

The bypass filter housing is a Purolator NE-1517.

 

Thanks.

Hello - My '46 P-15 is oil canister delete.  Could you direct me where I can buy the kit to install the canister filter?  Can you share pics of yours?

And all tips / advice is welcome.  Thanks, Texas Jim

The 41 Plymouth I had was an older resto with no oil filter either so I bought a Finned Beehive Filter from Speedway I think and used braided stainless lines to attach it to the block.........it came with instructions and a list of about 10-12 USA brands of filter elements that fitted............being finned it made the car go faster.......lol.................andyd

The 3/16" line  oil filter fittings holes should all be the same size...no single fitting with a tiny restriction hole.

The fitting with the itty bitty hole in it is for the block to oil gauge line.

Dampens oil pump pulsations for a steady oil gauge needle.

Here's a great picture and thread thanks to Sam Buchanan.  Top hose to inlet.

I have used a beehive mounted away from the  engine on my old 235 (brand x). Aluminum with fins to keep oil temp down and extra oil capacity are key benefits. Plus they look cool!
