****Bumping post based on conversation in other thread****
If you look back through this thread, you will see how I plumbed my lines, and how it was originally plumbed, and also how my filter has the words INLET and OUTLET stamped in the opposite places. I guess the thing I am still curious about is the need for a restrictor in the filter feed.

So what do you think the long term damage would be on my 327 (Non-Hydraulic lifters) if it was plumbed non-By-Pass with the restrictor in place? My lifters looked good when I inspected them, and none of them were stuck.

O.K. I'm way late in jumping in here. But, I thought you might like to see what Packard had to say about the filters. This is a page copied from the 22nd/23rd series Service Counselor.

To add a bit more confusion, here is the 51 instructions--and the little pigtail tube is back.

Very interesting, it appears that prior to 1951, the documentation has the filter in a Non-By-Pass configuration. And then 1951 comes along a they are calling for a By-Pass config. I wonder if there was an issue with the filters getting clogged and starving the lifters, or perhaps this was required to gurantee oil to engines with Hydraulic lifters.

Interesting that neither set of instructions talk about a restrictor. I would have imagined the second set would have.

Looks like the Service Counselor addressed all the non-hydraulic lifter engines of the time; Six, Eight, Super Eight but not the Custom Eight. That would make sense since the Custom Eight had Hydraulic lifters and came with the filter installed at the factory with the pigtail as shown in the diagram at the very top of this thread. I still feel that the cannisters I've seen all have the oil restriction built in based on that dinky little hole in the input or output (depending on which Packard illustration you use) tube that runs up the middle of the cannister.

Hi you guys are stressing me out about this oil line thing now!
The first picture is how I bought the car - no way to know if that is correct. I duplicated this on the new setup. The 3rd photo shows the oil filter can with the word "outlet" on the bottom. So guys - I need confirmation that my setup is wrong or right? Is my outlet going to the correct outlet on the block? Where is the Guru's? Obviously I do not want to run the car and risk it being damaged by this story! Attach file: (61.31 KB) (40.07 KB) (31.40 KB)

On my 327 9 main, the top fitting on the oil filter is the inlet, and the bottom fitting is the outlet. The outlet goes into a fitting in the lower part of the block, right behind the 3rd oil pan bolt hole in the block. it's that low. The "T" fitting has one line running to the port above the "T" fitting, and to the rear of the distributor, and another line running to the top fitting on the oil filter. This is the way EVERY "late-model" Packard straight eight has been that I've seen:
