Oil filter change vs oil change

Years ago(late 70s early 80s) my dad bought the AMS-oil bypass filter. Worked fine???? Till one of the lines broke and my mom set off to drive 35 miles to LA.

When my Dad saw the oil trail in the garage and down the road he hopped in the Dart and finally caught up to my mom.

Luckly he got to her before her mustang ran dry. He removed it the next day.
