Re: remote oil filter
I have fitted a remote oil filter to my 37 coup’e. I drilled the rear of my 37 block, as covered in Old Ron’s book ‘Nostalgia’. I fabricated a mount for the filter head using Aluminium Alloy plate and attached it to the left hand chassis rail, adjacent the fire wall, using the existing splash pan holes. The filter head, fittings and flex hoses are AeroFlow, with an ID the same as the rear cross block oil passage. The filter is a Rico Z9. I have a direct reading oil pressure gauge line fitted to the filter head outlet. The AutoMeter oil pressure gauge is mounted into a 37 radio head in the dash. If I was to do this mod again I would spot face the inner vertical oil hole before drilling full size. This would make tapping the thread easier.
