the oil pump is on the right side of the pump and is an oil
pressure line ftting.
At least that is the way mine is set up. I have replaced the oil
pump and this is the way the lines were when I removed them. As I
said before, this arrangement has worked for several years on my 165-
hp Warner.

Earl, I have 3, 3/4" fittings on my pump. and 1, 1/4" oil pressure
tap that goes to the gauge. The vent line is a 3/8" hose that
connects the oil tank vent to the accessory case vent.
I wonder if there are 2 or more types of oil pumps?
I removed my pump and determined the rotation of the drive, then fed
it oil to see which way it pumps, I think I have it connected
correctly. We will see when I start it up.
