The filter is supposed to be run with hard lines, not rubber hoses. If I were using rubber hoses I would put the .060" restrictor in the fitting as it leaves the block. That means the only pressure in the filter and the hoses will be from any resistance in the filter and the return line. If you put the restrictor at the filter inlet the hose that feeds it could be seeing 60psi or so at startup.
