just want to make sure that my canton oil filter relocation kit is set up properly before I tear into the motor for an oil pump change. does anyone have a diagram of the outs and ins.

Your best bet is to understand how the oil flows through the filter, and put it together the same way. The oil enters a conventional full-flow filter from the outer diameter, passes inward through the filter media, and enters back into the engine through the center tube.

Look at your adapter plate. It is likely labeled "in" at the port coming from the outer diameter and "out" at the center port. You want to hook up your Canton filter with the incoming flow coming from the "in" port and the exit flow going out the "out" port.

I hope that makes sense.

it does I was just hoping someone could tell me if the top one on the block was out or in.

The place on the engine block where you screw in the oil filter (now your adapter plate) doesn't have a top. It has a center tube that is the "in" and the outer diameter that is the "out". If you figure out which is which, you won't go wrong.

If someone tells you to use the "top" one and you have it upside down, you will have it backwards.

I understand. I just didn't want to have to pull the block back off of the motor to look at which hole is in/out. Its a round disc pointing forward and there is a flat spot in the front with a hole on the top and a hole on the bottom.

This is what mine looks like:



The port toward the center is the "in", and the port toward the lower right is the "out". If yours looks similar to this, then it would be the same.
