FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

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.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
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!)

When I bought my 1935 Ford it had very low Oil pressure. ( I think that is why the seller sold it so cheap) My father was with me, said not to be concerned with the low pressure when he saw the add on oil filter. When we got home Dad removed the inlet fitting, soldered it closed, then drilled a .060 hole in it and Wahla, normal oil pressure. By the way,37 coupe is absolutely correct about the later filters which had internal restriction.

ell one thing about it is that I will never post my view on this again. But I will ask you this as it comes up all the time.You say ones you service have always had this orifice,tell why this question comes up many times for people who cannot find this orifice on the inlet,where did they go? Why over the years would someone remove this and put on the non orifice fitting that I have found? Evidently others have not found it installed or this question would not come up all the time. Sometime look inside one and see if you find the small hole on center tube.Thats it for me,sorry if I have messed someone up.

A LOT has been done to these cars through the years. A LOT. The oil lines have nearly always been replaced at one time or another. It is very easy to remove that restricted fitting along with the line yet more difficult to reinstall it.
The fact remains that at least through 1950 or so, the oil filtering system was restricted by a special fitting.
That small hole in the housing center tube you'd mentioned is meant to allow the oil to bleed back down through. It is NOT meant to restrict oil flow.
That hole had been in filters for a number of years utilized WITH the restricted fitting.
