Individual rocker box oiling
Would it be a better deal to feed the oil seperatley on a shovel rather than going through the rear first then the front?is there a kit for this?any cons and pros?
Thanks

Something I've seen is using braided stainless brake lines. Run a line from the fitting near the rear cylinder to a tee between the jugs. The run two lines off the tee fitting to the existing rocker box fittings.
Something else to consider is a kit that Jim's has. It does away with the external oil lines, and runs the top end oiling thru the pushrods as on an Evo motor.

RE: Individual rocker box oiling
I installed one of the dual feed lines on a 76 that I was doing a Ground Up on...
Got it from Tedd Cycle... Nice kit and it was nice not having to wait for the front box to get wet....
Compression fittings with an aluminum type alloy....
Both lines exit the T at the case and run their independant pipes to the seperate heads...

I made up my own using automotive brake line, ran the main feed behind the rear cyl push rods, up the backside of the intake manifold and split to each rocker box, I painted it barbeque black and you don't even notice them. I bought a set of the aluminium slide in connector type and didn't like them they always seemed to leak a little.
