A "remote" filter is what all the old engines had until the spin on metal with a cartridge insert and then the full spin on filter. I just read your other post...someone removed your remote filter and plugged the holes where the lines went.
A bypass is the oiling system the pre 54 bolts had...25% of the oil was bypassed into the filter for cleaning/filtering but all the oil did not go through the filter.
Some say you can get rid of the filter on the pre-53 but it is not advised since any filtering is a good thing.
If you keep the filter, it must be "remote" as you can't equip it with a spin-on.
I am not sure if I am answering the right question, but filters are available for all older remote filter systems. So are the hoses. Search oil filter or oil filters and you should get a bunch of info on this topic. | | |
