The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Q:Connecting free flow oil Filter to 59 AB Flathead

Hey Ken: I'm not sure what his particular filter is . . . the originals I believe were drip-feed, though the repop aftermarket ones may be free/full flow. In the end as long as he understands the flathead oil system, he can determine how best to hookup his filter. The main thing is to NOT hookup a full-flow and send the oil back to the pan.

PS: Given the size of his oil-lines in the picture, I sort of assumed it is an aftermarket repop with a regular full-flow filter inside of it . . . but who knows.

Take care,
B&S
