All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I know there's been a lot of discussion on this topic, but I have a couple of questions. I'm adding a partial
remote oil filter to my 59ab engine. I want to run a line from the orifice on the back of the block to a remote oil filter and the outlet line down to my dip stick mount which already has a 3/8 npt hole drilled in it.

Will this work ok? Will I need an oil restrictor going into the oil filter? This is mild 59ab used for just causal driving.

The routing you are planning is proper.
You MUST have a restrictor, or you WILL lose oil pressure. The factory specification was .060" - .063". If you can't find a restrictor fitting, it's easy enough to solder your existing fitting and drill to the proper diameter.

Thanks for the response. Not finding a restrictor 060" - 063", there are 065" restrictors apparently for mustangs. would 065" be too big?

Plan on running an AN line, what size would be apporiate 2AN or a 3AN?

I'd think .065" would be fine.

I'm not certain how AN line is measured. Originally, the lines were 1/4" diameter.

Thanks again for the response.
FYI AN 4 is 1/4" OD, so that probably AN 5 or 6 would work fine.

It should work to run a line from the orifice on the back of the block to a remote oil filter and the outlet line down to your dipstick mount if the correct fittings and hose are used. An oil restrictor may not be necessary, but it depends on the specific design of the remote oil filter you are using. It's best to consult the instructions or technical support from the manufacturer of the remote oil filter to determine if an oil restrictor is needed or not. https://aftermarketparts.org/ford/f-150/2019/

It has not been established, but assuming that the desired filter setup is a bypass system as original, it would need the restrictor on the inlet side of the filter.

Alan is 100% correct.
