Point of interest. The internal oil passage in the Ford 8BA block inside diameter that flows the engine oil measures .421 in diameter. That's the passage in the block casting between the oil pump cavity and the oil tube in the valley area of the block. As we all know the valley oil tube feeds oil to the center and front of the engine. When the oil is feed from the pump externally by the 100% system the oil line goes into the stock Ford 1/4 inch pipe thread. When that's done the 1/4 inch fittings used all have internal diameters that are extremally small well below the design by Ford of .421 With the 90% plus system the new added inlet is now 3/8 inch pipe and the outlet location on the block is opened up from that small 1/4 inch pipe size to 3/8 inch pipe size. The internal diameter of the 3/8 fittings used for the 1/2 inch inside diameter oil hose is 3/8 of an inch. When I do this conversion I actually open up the now 3/8 pipe thread fittings inside diameter to the .421 diameter. Now the oil feed system has no flow restrictions. This is what I do on any engine I'm involved with {more than a couple hundred or so} when the 90% plus system is included. Sure the stock as designed oil system is adequate for most applications. However there are advantages to improving if one so desires especially now in the 21st century. So leave it alone if you like but now lets get back to the original posters question which is about the Full Flow Remote Oil Filter Kit. Ronnieroadster
