Hi,
I have a 1932 V8 i have an oil filter to install and I have a couple of questions:
* I have located the oil pressure access behind the left cylinder head. Which access should i use the horizontal plug? I know I have to limit/restrict the oil drawn off to prevent low oil pressure to the engine what size of a restriction should i use for that?

* 2nd question I have is what is the best way to tap the oil pan for the return and where should I locate the tap? Thank you!

Vern, Either plug accesses the same oil passage. Whichever one you can get to without obstruction from the firewall.
Your oil filter canister should have an .060" restrictor on the inlet side. Outlet should not have a restrictor.
Wow, return in a '32 oil pan... Don't know if you have an original Aluminum pan or? Not very knowledgeable about '32s, but you might consider using a 1940 style return, using a hollow bolt/banjo on your distributor mount. The later inlets were on the dipstick mounting bracket.
