Bob,
Good question. The way I had it hooked up the oil was running through the cooler and then the filter. The reason it took me so long to figure out the problem was that I was POSITIVE I hooked it up right. I thought the cooler was plugged or the line was blocked as when I cracked the lines there was oil in the cooler. -I was assuming the oil had run through the filter into the cooler and was then getting blocked. I simply removed the filter, pulled the distributor and used a drill to turn the oil pump. I then noticed the oil flowing the wrong way.
What's also amazing is after changing I-don't-know-how-many oil filters in my life I never took a look at one to see how they work. I knew which way they flowed, but it wasn't until this episode that I inspected the filter and realized that the check valve is unforgiving.
Fred and Jeff, Thanks for the empathy, it is well received. I can't wait to put it back together (correctly) on Saturday.
