The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Mystery pipe on '53 Chevy 216

You can't tell from the closeup photo but the line is about 3 inches from the exhaust pipe. I drove it for about 30 minutes and put it on fast idle afterwards and I could hold my hand on the oil line at the closest point to the exhaust pipe, very warm but no where near close to melting. I am thinking about adding a low oil pressure light setup.
