Remote Oil Filter Pics requested

Buddy old Pal, Old buddy, Old pal, Old buddy, Old pal, Gregory. There ain't no room for an oil filter near the crossmember of a first gen in stock trim.

Doug has BFH's doesn't he?



No wonder I sold all of my 69's

LOL--thanks for the link BFF. I like the idea of being able to clean the filter.

Trying to determine if I should do the rearend and brakes, or swap my current motor for the new one i've got sitting around. Can't do it all at the same time.

If motor comes out, I want to setup the filter as a remote setup.

I used the Pure Power setup on my Elky. Is a really nice filter setup and nothing get's past it.

I'd swap out those two 90's for long radius versions... or sweeps. There's a ton of loss of flow using two 90's like that. Not being "critical" of your installation... just sayin' that with oil pressure and FLOW (volume)... it's pretty important. Pressure and volume being two different animals.

You're right though! Nothing gets past those filters! My crankshaft and bearings show the results - completely undamaged even though my camshaft looks like someone beat it with a hammer.

Yep, using 90 degree fittings is not ideal. Staight adapter fittings and 90 degree hose end would be better.

Thanks Mike for the pics as well.

Good suggestion. When I plumbed this I used what I had on the shelf. You know how that is, once installed you move on and forget it. I will make those changes the next time I do an oil change which is real soon. The trip to Michigan was 2355 miles(Motor State Challenge).
Thanks

Mike,

Do you have any other pics?
