The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Remote oil filter- fill before install

Mark always advised me not to pre-fill the filter with his full flow system, and frankly I never saw much time difference with oil pressure rise either way. What I tried years ago is remove the input AN fitting to the filter mount and connect my flathead engine pre-oiler, a simple 1 gallon garden sprayer with engine oil. Now, the filter is filled correctly, and pressure rise time is much less! I perform this after oil/filter changes on my FE powered '40 which also has a remote filter.
