The oil filter-hydraulic lifter-oil pressure sending unit fitting on my '47 Custom (356 engine) is just like yours. My oil filter (Fram) also has a small hole in the center tubing in the filter housing. As I recall, it is the same diameter as the restricted ones in the fitting. While there, I also checked the pressure at this fitting and measured 40-45 lbs. A bit on the low side as the manual says it should be 50 lbs.
