Hy Guys. I need some help on a lube problem.

I instaled a oil gauge on my Galaxie (Summit Racing), and the gauge works ok. I instaled it at the block port just above the oil pump, between the oil filter (spinn on Motorcraft FL1A) and the rear of the block.

What I dont know for sure is: Did the oil flowing there already went trough the filter or not??? I think it didn't, but I'm not sure.



Thanks for any imputs guys!!!
