A couple of years ago I resurrected a 59AB style V-8 in a 1940 big farm truck. We used it last for many hours on my grandfathers farm in the 1960s. When I first changed the oil (stock by-pass system) I found NO restrictor in either the block outlet or the housing inlet. Inside the filter housing was only one .060 hole in the vertical outlet pipe. Since this is the only way the oil can get out of the filter, that had to be the restriction. Has anyone else encountered this?
