Yes,the typical spin-on bypass filter has a restrictor in the outlet which does make sense to avoid possible plugging. The original Ford canister however is in the inlet, which makes a leak at the top gasket and bolt much less likely since the can has somewhat less pressure to seal against. Both types make sense-just in different ways.
I chose to install a remote bypass filter on mine,and use a B50 Baldwin filter. It works well, is less messy to service and lets me see that pretty flathead engine a lot better since the filter is on the firewall.
