I am planning on build a touring engine with as many bells and whistles as I can put on it.

One item is an engine oil filter. I know there are full-flow and partial-flow systems. I don't understand why one would want a partial-flow system, but maybe I am missing something (but if you know an advantage regarding the partial-flow system, please let me know). So, right now I am leaning towards a flow-full system.

I have no experience with Model A engine oil filters; nor do I know any A'ers that use one. With that, I would like to hear from A'ers that are using an oil filter on their A engine, and what their experiences have been (good, bad, what works, what doesn't work, and any tips).

Thanks,
