Re: 1940 110 oil filter insyallation

You would use a T at the pressure feed off the block. They are 5/16th lines as I recollect. The return should go to a plugged spot on the skirt of the block. The most important thing to know is somewhere on the feed side there must be a flow restriction because only a small portion of the oil can be bypassed off through the filter and the lions share of the oil dedicated to the engine components.

Packard originally used a T fitting that had approximately a 1/16th hole drilled in the filter supply port. I've installed exactly the filter you have on a Chevy 235 6 and soldered up a brass fitting and drilled a 1/16th hole because of low indicated idle oil pressure. Worked fine, no reason you couldn't with installation on the Packard.

Best of luck!
