The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Full flow remote oil filter kit for a late flathead V8

There's one big flaw with the Kirby system that rears its ugly head at times. The oil hose that runs from the modified pump cover to the side wall of the oil pan has a tendency to come off. And if one is not careful the oil hose can come in contact with the rotating crank assembly. I prefer the 95 percent system its darn near fool proof.
