dual oil filter question

The questions I have when trying to get the oil pressure would it read accurate when running only one sandwhich plate to get the oil pressure read out.

I don't have it mounted yet but the dual lol filter are going to mount on the left fire wall in the picture

It should be accurate at the plate.

You don't need to run dual oil filters, just use a " Y " fitting after the outlet of the filter, or if you really wanted to a filter pedestal with dual outlets.

Here is the best photo I could find to illustrate it..

How do you know that you have more or less equal flow in each "loop"? I guess different pressure loss would cause quite different flow. The photo show one filter thereafter dividing flow into each stationary bearing, right?
