L71 oil pressure , fitting location

[Dave C.]

Just trying to figure out where the oil pressure line taps into the block, I've searched the archives and looked at every picture I could find there are three holes above the filter, which one is it?

The line configuration changed between 1968 and 1969 but the upper right is the clutch linkage pivot, the center fitting is pressure out for the gauge and/or remote filter and the one on the left is oil return for a remote filter.

Thanks Michael , I forgot to mention that the car is a 67, but I am. Sure they would be the same, I guess I need another adapter if it is the centre one

Thanks Robert, if that one works, I might as well use it since the fittings I ordered from Paragon fit that hole, not sure why they are all. Plugged off on this block but glad to see a picture of a real car, thank you.
