Default Re: 59 block oil filter question

If I move it back to the block this should lower the pressure through the entire filter setup....correct? Anyway, can anyone tell me where I might acquire this special fitting, or do I need to make it? Thanks again.
This is an 8BA restrictor fitting (it also accepts the pressure sender) You could solder and drill a suitable fitting for the side of your filter.
