I unbolted my motor mounts, jacked up the engine, removed the pan and welded a bung to it and then added a tube style adapter. I didn't like the tapping idea, it will get shavings down in the pan and I had a belt come off and pretty much rip it out after my first attempt. I put a nut on the inside of the pan the first time, but after the belt broke and almost ripped it out, I welded it just to make sure. Works great and super strong....

They are talking about the drain back into the pan. I did have my oil supply from the cyl head, but moved to the oil pressure port which is much more convenient.

Oops your right! Just one more reason I shouldn't stay up so late..... I used a T off of the oil pressure sender as in the instructions, worked fine, but a pain in the a%* to get a wrench on to get tight.
