I am replacing a broken oil feed line to the oil filter with a steel line . On page 7-33 of the 38/39 Ford book it says to use a restriction of .059. How do I do that? My return line goes into the top Distributor bolt. This is a drop in Replaceable filter. This is a36 21 stud Engine . Thank you George V

The return line should never be restricted, only the feed line to the filter. There are different ways to create restrictions, any of which must remain in place. One way is to internally solder a fitting, then drill it with no larger than a 1/16" drill bit. If you look, you will likely find the restriction already in place at the filter inlet, only one being required. Alan

Nangeo I'm not sure about a '36, but the oil filter on my '46 has a brass "restrictor" fitting on the inlet, that the steel oil line connects to. I did a quick search on this site for "restrictor" and only found one post with very few details, other that you need to have one. Do a search on The Ford Barn, to see if there is a post there.

The AC oil filter, restrictor fitting, below and also pictured in the 37 restoration book, it screws into the engine block. You can have original style flex oil lines made. Or are you trying to repair a Fram filter???? This message was edited by 40 Coupe on 1-2-20 @ 4:43 AM

As the former owner of a 36 coupe for 32 yrs. That drop in filter is NOT correct for a 36. It uses a complete throwaway filter. Looks like a humungous inline fuel filter. Ask "Kube" on this. I sold him all my spare filters yrs. ago. Usta be available from WIX filters not sure now. ken ct. 1-203-260-9780 if you want more info.

Ken is correct. If your running a correct filter for '36, the filter itself is disposable. Regardless, as you have a later filter system, you do need a restrictor in the pressure side somewhere. I do as Alan does if I don't have a proper fitting - simply solder and drill. Mike "Kube" Kubarth This message was edited by kubes40 on 1-2-20 @ 7:00 AM

The question of correctness for 1936... From the OP's description, the filter he has is of the 1940 vintage, "drop in replaceable", and return to the "distributor bolt". Alan
