Is there one available? All sandwich adaptors I have seen listed have 2 ports and a restrictor valve.
Single port sandwich adaptor without a restrictor?

Well, the costs are all about the same for just about any hunk of metal that you sandwich ...whether it's Permacool sandwich ..wefilterit.com single 1/8" port ..or thse offered on Ebay to allow you to add temp/pressure sensors/senders.
With a Permacool you just drill a few holes in it and "voila~". If you want larger ports, the Permacool is the way to go.
All of them run about $40+/-

Gary,
I was thinking strongly about changing my Amsoil dual bypass over to a single bypass with a sandwich adaptor and I would like to route the filtered oil back to the the filler cap rather than back to the sandwich adaptor. I wonder if the return hole on the Perma Cool could be plugged and ignored? The Amsoil 80A mount has a restrictor (I read that here) and the Perma Cool Sandwich adaptor has a restrictor also, right? As I understand the system, one of those restrictors should be removed. Why do I want to change? For one thing I need the space so I can put in a Motor Guard transmission by pass filter, and also I am thinking about changing to one of Ralph's Motor Guard TP filters fir the engine oil after using up my last Amsoil bypass filter. One more thing, the current bypass filter location puts it right next to the distributor and I am having igntion cutout after driving for several hours in warmer weather, when the oil filter gets up to it's max temperature. Any ideas on how to insulate the filter from the distributor?
Thanks,
Neal

Good question on the insulation. It naturally should be non-conductive ..so that eliminates most of the foil type stuff. I'd say any rubberized foam-like padding would work
Running it the way you describe you can just pry out the lead sinker on the back of the Permacool and remove the ball and spring. This should do it. If you see any change in cold pressure (or at any point - but cold is where it should show up first one way or the other) ..then drill an additional hole in the Permacool. You can do this ahead of time if you're dedicated to this (true) bypass method. If this is your jeep ..then I'd just pry the lead sinker out and be done with it. There's no high volume situation with a stock Jeep oil pump. I think that the 2.5 may use the same pump ..but, naturally, has just about 2/3 the bearing surfaces to lubricate

It sounds like you can install the BP-80A Amsoil mount with the Amsoil Eao bypass filter where you want it. Put on the sandwich adapter and plumb the pressure side to the inlet side of the BP80A. Return from the outlet side to your oil cap. Plug the return on the sandwhich adapter. Might be easy as this............GARY? or Others?

Pretty much. He'd probably want to drill holes or remove the valve in the sandwich ..since it really would serve no purpose. He's discharging into a zero pressure return.
Or could I leave the sandwich adaptor stock and remove the restrictor from the 80A mount? Would that work?

I believe that would work. You're probably not going to pass too much oil via the smaller lines ..but it should carry enough to make it work better then with the restrictor even returning to a zero pressure location (I think so anyway).
I'm really thinking of using the Permacool or one of my 80's Crown Vic cooler sandwiches with the Amsoil Dual Guard. That has no restrictors and I think it/they will carry the full oil flow after warm up.
