Pump flow goes directly out the bottom port at oil filter. Then comes back in engine at top port, goes across the top of #5 main to the vertical passage by distributor. From there it goes down and forward to the left side lifter galley, feeding all the mains. Feed from #1 main comes back up to right side lifter galley.

Let me start by saying I did not build this motor. I have owned the car for 3 years and the previous owner (not builder) had no business owning a car like this. It was very neglected. This is the first time I have had it apart so I have the same questions as all of you. The bypass on the filter housing was plugged.
