As I look at the pictures, I wonder why the oil return line is shown to return the oil into the engine at the spot where the oil pressure guage line comes off the engine to the oil guage for it's readings? It seems backwards.
I have always been told the guage takes the pressure at the oil galley toward the back of the engine. That oil galley runs down the full left side of the engine from front to back. It's the same galley that is plugged on both the front of the block to the left of the timing cover and on the back in the bellhousing area. The lower spot to the front of the engine is just ablove the pan rail and is the discharge spot for the oil to return to the engine.
Something doesn't seem right.
