Re: Oil Filters

Just revisiting this one more time to refresh my memory. Before I had it seems the wrong type oil filter canister, shallow bottom. A couple years ago got the correct canister with the pointed bottom. Inlet at bottom, outlet at top. For the past couple years have just been running no filter, full flow. Thought it might be best to install the filter. Remember I have an original 1940 Super 8, so there is no by pass going to the oil pan. So need to make sure this is the correct canister. There are two holes in the side of the post. I was thinking of enlarging them maybe a 32nd? Maybe leave well enough alone.
If you look at the picture you can see a hole in the top of the post, inside seems to have a spring, is this the clogged filter release? If so a check ball inside of tube that should move up or down inside the tube?
Thanks
