I think I may have given the wrong idea of what I need. I already have the
modified external line from the "T" fitting the oil pressure guage is hooked
into...the line from there runs around the block to the other side and
enters mid block near the top to provide oil to the rockers. What I am
wanting, is a picture of the setup that is supposed to be in place behind
the lifter cover. All I have behind mine, is the plugged point (the picture
I put the link to, has arrows to show what is going on and what is, I think,
missing)...ie. no line whatsoever...and what I'd like to do, is to try to
eliminate the external line and do it the way it was intended to be done...
A couple of others have also offered advise on how to do the external line,
so you aren't the only one who misunderstood what I wanted....so I'm sure it
is my fault for not describing better.
Anyway, what I need, is information on the way the engine was originally
intended to provide oil to the rockers (my belief, is there is supposed to
be some type of a feed line behind the lifters cover, and THAT is what I
need information on).

Rob,
My digi camera is a el-cheeeeepo, and my '59 is put away with low-light
conditions, so I won't be able to take a pic that'd be worth wasting
bandwidth to send you.
I can take a look at it tomorrow and explain the routing for you...not
too difficult as I recall, the input to the oil filter is tee'ed off with
3/16th? copper tubing and routed up with the fuel line in front of the
head, around to the side of the head.
I'll do a re-check tomorrow and let you know for sure...need to fire the
old beast up anyways.
