[AT] Dodge diesel oil filter number

[Ralph Goff]

Bob, I see the Cockshutt tractors on this farm have the same idea to
restrict oil flow and build pressure. A small hole in the brass T fitting on
the side of the engine head.
And yes, I recall the banjo fitting and drilled stud on the top of the
engine at the back of the old Ford flathead engines too. I learned a hard
lesson that you can not apply too much torque on this type of bolt without
twisting it off.
