vortech oil feed problem
So I went to hook up my oil feed line today and there just doesnt seem to be enough room for the T fitting. I put the T where the oil pressure sending unit is, and I can fit something in the middle part of the T just fine. The problem is that i can not fit anything in the other end of the T. There is some sort of hose (maybe a/c line) blocking it. Could I leave the oil pressure sending unit in its stock place, and but the feed where the drain plug next to the oil pressure sending unit is. Heres a drawing of how its supposed to be.

oh someone has had to have done this before...the fitting at the blower also isnt right either. It says to put the 45 degree fitting facing towards the front but its too loose that way. I'll probably just ignore what the manual says and put sealant or loctite on it to make sure it doenst come loose

it should be the same size hole as the one with the sending unit in it so ill just pull that bolt out and put the feed line in there. thanks. I still gotta figure out what to do with the 45 degree fitting on the blower though. hmmm

its just dumb you are supposed to have the 45 degree fitting pointing towards the front of the card, but it doesnt get tight until it is pointing straight up in the air and then you can't get the hose on it because the bracket is in the way...

when its tight the hose has trouble clearing the bracket. It probably wouldnt be a problem if I hadnt put the blower on the car than tried fiddling with the fitting lol. Its a PITA get the belt on so i dont want to have to take the blower back off. Do you think using loctite will be ok as long as i keep it away from the opening on the end of the fitting
