Hey Guys--

I did a search a while back when I broke my metal line and saw that a few people replaced theirs with AN style braided line. Here is a write up on my line replacement. I hope it is helpful.

I've never seen one tapped into the oil gallery by the oil filter, but I guess pressure tapped there should be the same as the original location. Nice engine bay and I like the braided oil line install.

Thats actually where it was with the original motor....actually scratch that. At some point somebody must have moved it because there was a metal line extension up by where the distr is...that was done when the original motor was in there by the PO.
