I swear I remember a photo on here of the Plumbing/Fittings on the adapter but I cannot find it anywhere after searching for 45 minutes. A lot of photos, but nothing of what Im needing.

The Canton oil adaptor fittings provided with the kit (LT1) exit to the side which puts them right into the headers. I don't think the hoses are gonna bend enough without laying up on or hitting the headers.

Im guessing that I need 90's or swivels to get these lines headed forward, but I have limited time, knowledge, and talent of plumbing with AN stuff. Normally, Im a rubber hose with a clamp kind of guy.

If somebody can point me to a decent photo, or a good description I would appreciate it.

TIA

One thing to remember, pipe thread to AN adaptors are "drilled" and have a 90 degree turn in them. Hose ends are radiused. This can (with enough fittings) cause a reduction of oil pressure. Hose ends are more effecient (I did use one pipe to an 90 because I had no choice with my steering box, but I avoid those and 180 fittings when I can).
