Oil filter questions?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First off I put a 235 in my 51 3100. Because of the Fenton exhaust the the oil filter unit (not sure what it's actually called) will only mount tipped back slightly toward the center of the motor. In other words it's not perfectly straight up and down. Is this an issue??

Second I noticed the hoses have a small hole in one end and the other is larger.Does it matter which way these are installed? Which direction does the oil flow go? In the side,then out the bottom??

Any insight greatly appreciated. Thanks.
