Length of oil return line

My stock oil return line was leaking on an 88t2, I've got some NPT oil flanges to replace the stock line but I wanted to switch it to AN fittings using a converter on each end.

I need to know how long the hose needs to be (and what size -3? -6?)... any right angles, etc.

I'd measure this myself but I'm not where my car is and I need to order the AN lines

18"

-3 or -4 will work.. I'd use a -10 return for the -3 and a -12 return for the -4.

You'll need the 14X1.5mm to -3 or -4AN adapter plug for the block, and 2 90degree -3 or -4 AN swivel fittings for each end of the line..

****, my bad!! I read too fast.. When I saw the -3 or -6 I figured you meant the feed...

I used about 10 inches of -12 for mine.
