    1972 oil line to housing input needed

    I just want to verify. The internet does not seem to have the information I want. Im converting from a 72T with no oil cooler. I just want to verify what fittings are what on the oil filter/thermostat housing itself before I install everything and try to start the car.

    Top fitting to the cooler front, return cooler front to bottom of oil tank.
    Below top fitting housing short line to top of oil tank. Rear fitting housing plumb to motor.
    Is that what your after?

    Kris:

    Here is my LY 72 before the engine was installed so the engine oil line is not connected. The 2 tank breather hoses are not installed either (under the console to tank line). Maybe this will help.

    Hi Kris,
    The photo I used above was just for reference picture not on my car. We made up a flexable hose that goes to the top of the tank,it looks the same as Gibs hose in the picture above.
