The line is a 1-piece setup from the oil distributor near the exhaust pipe to the valve lifter area on the opposite side of the block. It goes through the water jacket on the way, so it must be sealed. The fittings in the block the line goes through have compression-type ferrules that are one-time use items. If you want to replace the line, most of the antique parts distributors have a kit available that includes a line the right size and the necessary fittings to do the job. You only get one chance to do it right.
