I replaced my dist. oil line with standard steel braided line.  I had to tap 
the block out to 1/8 NPT in order to use standard NAS fittings and used a 
compression fitting on the hard line going to the guage.  I used standard -3 
fittings. (if my memory serves me correctly)  

I have a question- someone mentioned a restrictor adapter on the original hose. 
 Is this an inline orifice to reduce flow to the distributor (so it doesn't 
pull too much oil away from the bearings)?

Will I be ok without the restrictor or orifice?
