Default Oil line help needed....

I'm in the process of building my bike...'76 FXE. I took it down to the frame for powdercoating and new paint ect. I did a good job on labeling everything, but one of my tags fell off and I can't find what I need in my service manual. I need to know on the oil pump......the fitting that is on the far rightside....the SMALL fitting. The one that is vertical out of the top of the oil pump. Where does it go???? I took my lines off and lost a tag in the process. I need to run a line from that fitting to where??? Thanks guys......I need the help. It's my first build.

Thanks man....I got ya now. There is another small fitting on the pump that has a small fitting also. It's a little lower on the pump on the backside and angled slightly......nothing was ever hooked up to it when I bought the bike. Do you have any idea where that line would go.....from the pump to ?????

that would be your rear chain oiler , ties in with the breather on the fitting and will blow oil on the rear chain if you run your breather the right way

There should be a fitting bracketed off one of the rear tranny bolts perched over the top of the rear chain. Other end of the hose goes there.
