Default where is OIL Bypass valve?

I'm confused, is the bp valve in the block on a '97 502 or is it in the bolt on oil filter/ cooler adapter? No more ? after this I promise.

It's in the block, in the filter
adapter pad area, just in front
( towards the front of the engine)
of the center opening ( where a
oil filter would thread on)

Hope this helps.

So if the filter gets clogged, the oil will circulate past it.

Bypass goes in round hole that is at 1 o'clock (has lip) on filter pad. As you can see, oil comes from oil pump to oblong hole, thru filter & then to engine. If filter is pluged then oil goes thru bypass on side & then to engine.
