I'm finishing up by daughter's '57 210 and have installed power brakes and an a/c & alternator (used the Alan Grove bracket kit) but have run into the problem of were to put the oil filter canister. The a/c and lines interfere a bit with putting it on the manifold between the alternator and carb - so I'm looking for other solutions or a spin-on filter conversion. I don't want to machine the block for a full-flow setup so I'm left with trying to figure out what to do to maintain some sort of oil filtering capabilities.
Does anyone make a complete kit to install a cartridge filter or am I left with using one of the adapter kits and making up my own .062 restriction to put in the line? I've seen the installs with the filter mounted to the side of the block on the three threaded bosses but haven't seen a line kit with the proper restriction in it. I'm hoping to get it together this week so she can drive it to her first day of school so I'd really prefer a kit that can get to me this week
OH - and where is the restriction in the stock setup? Is it in the line or is it on one of the fittings coming off the block where the oil pressure switch is T'd into?
