Filter for an original Beehive oil filter

Flathead Fever said:
The fittings on this one are the original fittings that were there when I bought it. They were just threaded in about halfway. I had thought the fittings had a number on them but it was the housing think of. The brass fittings are made for flared tubing. The center hole is around an 1/8", maybe a little bigger. I'd need to check the hole with a number drill. Top and bottom fittings are the same. I'm not sure now if it should have a smaller restrictor hole? Maybe its the Ford filters I saw the small restrictor fitting on?? I'll check tonight. I have some of those filters out there somewhere?

It should require the same size restrictor as the Ford by-pass filters, .060. If I remember correctly the post on the HAMB reference the .060 restrictor.
 
Check the oil flow path from the inlet to where it goes into the center tube.
It is possible that any restriction hole/s is installed in the center tube just as there are holes in the stock bypass filter center tube.
