65 oil pressure line

[Bob P.]

The JG states that the oil pressure line on a 65 is wound clockwise as viewed from above. So I took my line and rewound it. Later I was looking at pictures taken of some bowtie cars and I think they are wound counter clockwise. It's hard to tell from a picture. Can anyone tell me for sure what is correct?

The '65 JG is incorrect, IMHO. My L78 BB still has the original oil pressure line and it coils counter-clockwise as you follow the line to the engine block. This is also the orientation shown in the AIM.

I thought so. I was sure the oil line was original. I will recoil it ASAP. I didn't like the idea of reforming my line even before I did it.

My L78 oil pipe also coils counter clockwise as per the AIM.
