Oil filter relocation
Here's the scoop.. I have a 383 stroker in my 76 vette. The oil pressure runs at about 60-65 psi when cruising. 40 psi when idle . After running down the highway at about 70ish for awhile the pressure is still around 60psi but when I slow down to idle it drops to around 30. Let it sit for awhile and it's back up to 40 when idle. I was going to do is add a oil radiator but it looks like if I add the "sandwich filter addapter" my oil filter will almost touch my header probably making it impossible to get a filter on or off. Is it possible to use a oil filter relocater along with the oil radiator? I have been using Castrol 10w30 during the winter and 20w50 during the summer. Is this normal for the temperature??
