You may have to add a fitting or a doubler plate to the pan and drill and tap it for a 90 degree elbow.

Hope this is of some help.

Post-war engines had the Oil Return feed through a modified Dipstick boss. This type of boss is available as a new part to replace the older boss from retailers such as Mac's or Van Pelt Sales (I got the pic from their site). Saves having to drill and tap holes in an otherwise perfectly good pan.

Hi Lynn and Tony,

Didn't know they existed but that is a great item and a lot easier solution for Serge if required. Especially useful to a guy like me who hates extra holes where they never existed on a vehicle. I usually spend time filling in those type holes.
