Front 12a Plate/Iron Oil Feed Question

Lapping = Fapping

I like to use the Atkins method of threading the front cover where it kinda goes horizontal below the OMP. There is a relatively flat and thin area that takes a 45° barbed NPT fitting for the oil return of a Camden. I'm sure it would work with a turbo as well, depending on size and location/position etc.

Yeah, I was talking about the drain on the front cover. I didn't want to use the typical push on hose. I wanted to use a AN fitting down there........... but didn't want to pull the front cover off to tap it

How much of an incline does the return line need to be on? my hole is drilled just below the top bolt hole for the omp on the left of it. My return line does "S" a little bit to clear the manifold but it looks like it is downhill just not over convincingly. i will post a pic as soon as i can

I should have said the flat nearly horizontal part on the front cover a couple inches below the OMP. That is where my oil drain is. Tteddy used the stock location, which is a little less friendly, as John has found out, having to do an S shape. Mine is long and curved but all downhill. It's probably a little too long actually. Gotta trim a couple inches.

So I went ahead last night and bought a 1/4" Brake line and it screwed right into the Brass "Bung" in the block and it fitted right onto the turbo with a couple couplers. I was told this line can handle 100 psi so heres hoping.
As for the Dizzy obstruction I have it so I can retard back to the center of the adjusment screw and I can go right to full advance I just cant retard past center of the adjustment screw.
Let me know what you guys think
