Steve I see that you have mounted a Fram PH8A oil filter. I used a PH8A on my Italia with a Ford 351 Windsor and noticed that my oil pressure dropped from 58 pSI to 46PSI hot at 3000RPM. I thought my engine was giving up but on a hunch researched the Fram and found they are of very inferior construction. I purchased a NAPA gold which I saw on a display comparing the NAPA filter internals to the Fram internal construction.The presuure went right back up to the 58PSI hot at 3000RPM and has stayed there. Naturally I saved the fram filter and have contacted fram to tear it apart and verify what I think to be the problem which is the front of the filter has broken down and was pbypassing oil. Not a good situation.I will never use Fram again. Stick with the Ford FL1 or the NAPA gold. Jerry McGlothin Pantera 02222,Mangustas 8 MA822, 8MA542.
