Bypass Oil Filters
For years I've used the NAPA Gold 1006 filter. Today I stopped by my local NAPA store to pick one up..... they're now $22 plus change. Yikes. I thought $14 a few years back was high.
Any suggestions for a quality alternative? I prefer buying local rather than Amazon when I can.... but wow, $22. Jackson

Order 4 and the price is $12 each. Free ship...and I try to shop locally too but I have limits to what percentage I will allow local stores to charge me. Terry

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
Napa uses Wix filters. The Wix part number is 51006. They are very good quality filters but they can be purchased for less depending on where you look.
Rock Auto lists a price of $9.62 as long as they don't send an old shelf worn item that is miss packaged. I've had my ups & downs with them but I still purchase filters from them for the time being. |

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
How often do you change filters? Once a month, every 6 months, once a year. For the convienence, 22 doesn't sound like much to me

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
34PKUP what's it matter you have to control the flow placing the restrictor in the return stops anything clogging the restrictor and stopping the oil flow At the end of the day its whether the filter does its job that's important

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
A standard bypass filter does not like to be over pressurized and they were designed with the restrictor in the inlet to help prevent that.

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
Here is a popular bypass filter head. Note the restrictor is located in the filter outlet. Restrictors are normally located in the outlet side so they are less likely to become plugged.

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
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. Terry

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
That's a Rochester 2GV (from a '60's Chevelle ) mounted on a Merc manifold with the bowl to the rear so linkage lines up. It works great and the stock Merc choke thermostat operates the auto choke perfectly. I believe Tubman is running a similar setup on his shoebox Ford. They're a very nice carb.
