The return line from the filter to the engine comes out of the bottom of the filter housing and attaches to a port near the oil pan flange on the driver's side just ahead of the supply line. The supply and return ports in the block are close to the exhaust pipe, so be careful how the lines are routed. Since your filter canister is mounted on the inner fender, be sure to use flexible lines from the engine to the canister. The pre-made lines sold by various antique parts vendors will probably be too short, since the usual mounting position on smaller trucks is on the intake manifold. Any hydraulic shop should be able to fabricate custom-length lines suitable for engine oil. Jerry
