Thank you for the link!

I know we love to tell people to do searches, but frankly, searches here suck. I never seem to be able to find a thread that i KNOW i read before.

I DID do a search for oil restrictor, oil canister, and a few others and just found a thread from a 30's packard about the oil restrictor hole being around .05 to .06, not describing it's location or if it was a fitting, etc.

No one like's to answer the same questions over and over, but when you look and can't find anything because you didn't think to phrase it like someone else did, well there's bound to be redundant questions. Especially considering that it's a small hole in the oil filter housing that's bound to be overlooked.

HH56:

Both of the parts of the T where the lines pass through are small inside, slightly larger than 1/16 (5/64th drill bit fit snug actually) but the side that screws into the block and the part that the oil pressure sending unit screw into are a lot larger (almost the size of the line connecting to the other sides, like 5/16.)


Does anyone know why one line goes right back into the block?

Also, this is a hydraulic lifter motor if that makes a difference. From what i'm reading in the other thread, it does seem to. I will look for some manuals to see how packard did it so i can better tell what's going on in this setup.

Thanks!
