The front oil port where the hose normally connects also feeds the
fornt main bearing and the timing gear jet. What I don't know is if
the passages for the other bearings are drilled a different size than
the front one to allow for the oil filter. I'm guessing not since the
filter was an option. I imagine its at the front port so that oil
gets to the other bearings before the filter to help ensure they get
oil on a dry start up or possibly if the hose were to spring a leak.
But under normal opperating conditions, I wouldn't think it would
matter.
One way to check would be to connect a manual oil pressure gauge at
which ever port you want to use and see what the normal oil pressure
is at that port. Then get a brass 't' fitting and connect it to that
port and the filter and the pressure gauge and see how much the oil
pressure drops at that port with the filter hooked up.

Hi Robbo,
What a good idea I shall do that first up today.
Still wondering though about the position of the oil pipe and
whether it will effect the cam bushes further down the line.
Off to Dubbo on Thursday to look for a cheap car for my in-laws who
are visiting for a couple of months.
Drought still hurting

Martin hello:
I got a bolt that was about 2 to 3 inches longer
than the original bolt. Next, I placed a nut on
the bolt at about one inch from the threaded end.
I then brazed or welded, I can't remember exactly,
this nut onto the longer bolt.
Although the need to remove the fuel pump is quite
rare... it is so easy to get the fuel pump off in any situation,
once the bolts are an extended length.
I had a friend from Dubbo (Aust) visiting NY
We drove a jeep for about 40 miles when suddenly, the
jeep was coughing and sputtering to a dead stop.
I had only a scant few tools with me but luckily I had used
the longer bolts and therefore was easily able to remove
the pump and discover the problem.
(one of the round flapper discs had worn away to the point
there was no fuel pressure)
