looked it up in my P18 Plymouth Service Manual Ref;217.8 cu. in engine.Fitting exits block(looks like at the main oil gallery) goes up to top of canister type filter,down thru filter,to oil line to a fitting right above oil pressure relief valve.It is stated "Pressure relief valve used with by - pass type oil filter" Oil enters and it states the following "when valve is closed oil pump fill passages and oil filter.Relief valve blocks oil flow from filter to crankcase. (Next diagram)"When oil pressure is greater than relief valve spring tension,valve starts to open. Excess oil returns to crankcase.Relief valve opens passage to permit oil flow from filter to crankcase" Hope this helps because I can't type for S--(P).
