Oil Connection

[mickeymouse]

Hello everyone,

I am new to your forum and the M38A1, I recently bought what I believe to be a M38A1 without an oil filter

I am not new to working on vehicles, so what you school me in will take quickly. I would like to add an un authentic external oil filter[PH8A]. Upon sale of the vehicle I will convert the oil setup to the traditional cannister type, but to keep expenses down I will go this way for now.

I will run copper lines with brass fittings, just because it looks cool

I will attach a pictures of the drivers side engine and passenger side engine. I believe the drain or return side is on the cam housing.

My problem is I can't figure out the send line port.

Thank you for your time..

The hole on top of the timing chain cover case is the return line to the engine from the oil filter. There is a fitting under the fuel pump that is the pressure line to the oil filter. If u need more pics let me know. Edit: I have scene replaced all the oil filter lines with the new original ones.

Thanks for the pictures on this aaron, this is a helpful thread. My a1 came without an oil filter so I am looking for a replacement one. Does anybody know a good place to find an original looking one? all I can find are the orange ones with the smooth sides.
