Please help!
Do you know of a full flow remote oil filter kit for my late flathead V8? I bought such a kit around 2000 from Mark Kirby at Motor City Flat head. It worked very well and was relatively easy to install. As I recall it involved:

A. Plugging one of the oil flow ports, left rear of the motor.

B. Running a return hose from the remote oil filter boss. (It used an 8BA Ford filter) to the other oil feed port on the back of the motor.

C. Running an oil feed hose directly from the oil pump inside the pan. It ran through the side of the pan to the remote filter boss.

Result 100% filtered oil. It worked great. No extensive drilling into the rear of the block. (The fuel pump hole in the block needed to be plugged, Electric fuel pumps are great.)
Thank you, Bob
