I bought the canton remote block adapter for my new oiling system. im trying to finish up my build today and the last thing i need to do is hook up my oil lines.
for those who have the canton remote block adapter (90 deg swivel), my question is: which is the inlet and outlet if your looking at the adapter as so?

thanks

The port that leads to the filter stud is the inlet to the motor...it should be attached to the line coming from the oil filter. The other one (oil pump outlet) feeds the filter. This is true for all block adapters (at least it better be) ;)

i understand that.... but the problem is that its already installed on the motor with the turbo, oil/water lines, etc and i cant take off the block adapter to check.
i cant find any pics of the underside of the block adapter to check either. i basically need to know whether the inlet is on the right or left side of the pic i attached above.

thanks

Hole closest to the edge (left one in original pic) is the feed to the filter.
