Rob,
My digi camera is a el-cheeeeepo, and my '59 is put away with low-light
conditions, so I won't be able to take a pic that'd be worth wasting
bandwidth to send you.
I can take a look at it tomorrow and explain the routing for you...not
too difficult as I recall, the input to the oil filter is tee'ed off with
3/16th? copper tubing and routed up with the fuel line in front of the
head, around to the side of the head.
I'll do a re-check tomorrow and let you know for sure...need to fire the
old beast up anyways.
