Paul, it's actually the hose from the block to the filter - there's no oil
cooler on the '76. But yeah, it DOES seem to be
more in the way than on my old engine.
I just looked at an old picture, on my old engine it was routed down below the
dizzy and up to the filter, not above the
dizzy and down to the filter. Same length hose, though.
I took your (and Kelvin's) advice on the distributor clamp. Worked out well for
me, thanks.

I'm surprised about the dizzy, Dan.
But that picture sure looks like the oil hose to the oil cooler is in
the way. It must
be shorter than stock.
There is the clamp on the top of the dizzy bracket, you could loosen
that and remove that way.
But as long as the dizzy shaft is ok, points will be fine.
Paul.
