on the holly, there is a small hole where the choke linkage goes through the body. you can delete the choke option and run the two lines through the now open hole.

hobbytown usa sells small oil resistant line that you can plumb through there. use a small drill bit and drill a hole in the air horn on the primary side of the carburater.

the hole should be the same size as the oil line you use. the fit should be snug enough to not allow the lines to come out of their respective holes.

IMO, that's the best way to do it.

For the guys who are plumbing it into the float bowls, are you also wiring open your OMP?

You might want to check your oil level more often with a wired open OMP. Seems to me the oil consumption goes up. Better check it.

Me? Yeah, I've been checking it. Added half a quart a few days ago.
