The supply line comes from the back of the drivers side valve cover, the return line goes to the top of the intake. Got it on ebay, was about $30...its billet aluminum, I just painted it black.

is it hollow or does it have a "screen" "mesh" to actually help it from allowing oil to pass through to the intake?

It's hollow, but I bought some mesh. I'm gonna run it for a month like this, then check it and see how its working. If the line to the intake has oil residue I'm gonna put the mesh in...

its going to get sucked into the hose running to the intake. skipperdaddy tried the same thing and has oil going to the intake. he is supercharged, but running higher RPMs it will actually suck oil into the intake because there is nothing to keep it from getting sucked up.
