Oil filter by pass

Never heard that one
Nor I. Not sure what year Chrysler did away with the stand tube.A guess is mid 70's.Really not needed.I have shorten them like RRR stated.
What size filter are you using ?
You can try cranking the car with the coil wire removed along with the filter to see if any oil reaches the filter attachment .
The oil flows from the outside base thru the filter paper and returns thru the stand tube.
