The fitting on the block is a brass "T" where the male threads go into the block and there are two female threads for output.
My question. On the output side, the treads are the same size, but one has a much smaller passage or "hole" than the other. Does the output with the small hole go to the filter or the gauge?

There is no flow. If the line or gauge would leak it will be a small leak & won't dump all the oil at once.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Somewhere in your setup, you need that restriction. The gauge will work off either feed. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 95 | I was thinking the smaller hole would be for the oil filter. | | |
