I'm suffering from a case of "can't remember sh**"
The upper oil line that comes from the oil canister goes to a T fitting near the rear of the block. Can any one tell me what else connects to that T connection?
Thanks.

I don't know for sure (I don't have a filter) but I'd guess it's the oil pressure guage line. Mine comes out of a T on the driver side just behind the exhaust pipe. A copper line goes to the back of the dash.

You mean there is actually supposed to be an oil gauge???
I though you just gauged the oil pressure by the amount of oil leakage…no leak = not enough pressure. grin

Thanks guys...

Rusty,

That's right. If the guage fails, you have to use the 'oil leak' test.
