Yes exactly.
It is common for engine manufacturers to specify what the maximum allowable orifice size is for a bypass filter so as to not starve the rest of the engine.
I have not found this specification for the Stovebolt. It'd be wise to check the restriction size in the original filter housing. This may be where the inlet hose connects to the housing, likely just a small hole drilled and not a separately removable restricted fitting.

My Detroit 53 series manual for example recommends no more than 0.062" orifice for feeding a bypass filter.
