A side note; a while back, Kev posted about a filter added to his engine at some point that has the inlet on the bottom (middle of filter element) and outlet on the side. Well, mine does also. Ours are both marked Packard on the lid. This odd duck filters from the middle out, with a built in filter element bypass feature. The center tube has a bypass spring and ball arrangement and a cross drilled hole in the filter top nut. If the filter becomes plugged, the oil pops the bypass valve squirting up through the nut, out the side, and over the top of the filter element.
A very unconventional yet intentional way to filter, and bypass design feature. Effectively, this allowed the filter to supply oil full filtered to the valve train, without the need to plumb in external bypass mode with the restricted supply going to the filter. What does this all mean? Dunno, other than Kev's filter was not miss-stamped for inlet and outlet.
