Re: Oil filter questions??

The filter does not have to be perfectly vertical, but if it is in the way, you can take it off the manifold and mount it remotely with longer hoses. I have seen a couple done this way so a modern spin-on element could be used.

The inlet is on the side of the can and the return is on the bottom. The hoses are not directional, but if one of the loose fittings is a flow restrictor with a small through hole, that fitting should go on the inlet hose.
