Where the oil comes out of the pump cover you use 2 street elbows. If this is 
a 70 or later with the rear mount crossbar, the first street elbow will need to 
be ground away on the rear corners to clear the bar, and maybe the fan 
housing. I have a drawing showing how the crossbar must be modified if you 
have it.  

Where the oil goes back into the case you use 3 street elbows. Take your 
time and play with the orientation of each of them and you can get them to 
clear the fan housing without even touching the fan housing. In the end, both 
the inlet and outlet nipples should point straight to the left.   

Where you mount the filter is up to you, but I like to mount it from the 
crossbar. That way it gets installed on the bench and goes in and out with 
the engine. This gives a very neat installation. You can use this on early cars 
if you convert to a late case and add the crossbar just for this purpose.  

Working out the plumbing over the crossbar is tough, but Dave Hall took 
some pictures of my installation in my basement. Those should be on the 
CD that Jason is getting ready right now.

In fact, you can see all the fittings in Dave's pictures.
