About a week ago I put a full flo oil filter kit on my coupe. Most filters have a by pass valve in them. The valve has a relief setting of 8-11 lb setting. I don't know how this valve work with pressure. How would this work with a non pressurized system, Like the Model A. Or should I use a filter with out the by pass valve?

I'm pretty sure IF your filter ever plugged up the Model A oil pump would build enough pressure to overcome the oil filter "relief setting of 8-11 lb setting"

You should have asked this question before you recently installed the filter! Wayne
