Sure you don't have two gaskets stuck in there by accident?
That will sure make a mess.

Re: 1975 Cherokee 360; oil jetting out of filter
Problem solved: the old bypass valve plunge was still stuck down in the
filter adaptor. When I put the new one in it was sitting on top of the
old one so that the oil had no where to go once it got into the filter.
Whoops. Runs great now.

Re: 1975 Cherokee 360; oil jetting out of filter
May I ask who 'rebuilt' that engine?
If it was 'professionally' done, well... I would sure be worried about
the quality of that 'rebuild'. Starting up a dry engine will destroy it
in minutes if not seconds.

It would be prudent to replace the filter adaptor, just so your new plunger
can mate with a new bore and experience longer service life.
