that's the slant: sideways, upsidedown, extralong, cockeyed,or as known here, the HILLSIDE hemi!!?? LOL
The drain back valve is irrelevant here. The filter is upside down. If the tube is eliminated, then the oil will drain back through the galleries and ultimately into the pan. What's the big problem with running the correct filter?
what is the correct filter. .
zkx14, how long does it take your oil pressure light to go off?
Ok,that's what I thought. So, without the standpipe the pump needs to fill the filter before anything goes to the engine?
Now part 2 of my question. On a '75, I am 'assuming' I have the shorter standpipe. Is there any issue having the shorter pipe with the longer filter? Is it still waiting for half of the filter to fill with oil on start-up? Or will it start to push out what's there immediately?
Nobody is making a big deal about anything. I don't know how you guys do it in Canada, but here in America, it is the home of the free. That means I can put anything on my car that I want. I wanted a Mopar filter. It isn't stupid crap. If you wanted to paint your car pink, would you like someone telling you their opinion about painting it pink. ACTUALLY.........my wife wanted a Mopar filter on her car. This is her car. and you don't want her to tell you what she thinks about your post. So I wont show her this. BTW. I put a Wix 51515 on it. Is that ok with you.
