Default Re: I inherited a true to original restoration 1935 Ford Deluxe. Help me out here.

The oil filter is a later addition and was not originally on the car when it rolled off the production line. If you have good oil pressure, leave it alone. If you aren't sure of the oil pressure, I'd disconnect it and plug the ends, that way you are sure that the engine is going to have the best oil pressure it can produce.
