The filter they recommend is designed for full flow filtering, not bypass filtration like the vast majority of the stovebolt engines use.
I use a drilled-out Holley carburetor jet threaded into one of the adapter fittings to prevent flowing too much oil back into the oil pan instead of routing it to the bearings and cylinder head. Jerry
