This common filter upgrade for the Model A Fords uses a Wix(etc) Ford spin on filter. It is sold by all the venders. This filter installs parallel to the centerline on the engine. I have seen some recommendations calling for the alteration of the rubber baffle on the filter base. The reasoning being this allowed better flow into the filter.
What is the experience of others on this forum. Is this needed to be done or not?
Thanks
Russ
