Where Does This 134 Oil Line Go??

    What is probably a totally obviously question that has us totally stumped.
    We are putting a replacement 134F into my 62 CJ5. After pulling a no good motor. Most things are hooking up well, but there is an oil line sticking up at the rear of drivers side of the block on the new motor with no place to go. It comes aft from a port in lower block.
    There is already an oil line coming up on drivers side at the back of block and looping up and over and into the top of head.
    Do we just plug that lower port? It makes me nervous without guidance. Where does that line go? All ideas appreciated.

    Been a while since I had an Fhead, but I think it is the oil pressure gauge line.

    Here's a photo of my engine before I took it out, I think you can make out the line your asking about.

    That low left-side port would usually be a sender for the oil idiot light. And/or a gauge if added.

    Get a FSM for sure.

    Thank you! Got it! By ‘62 cJ5 has an idiot light within speedometer dial which has a wire going out back of dash. So I guess I will just cap and maybe put in an oil gauge later. Many thanks!

    Hmmm. My idiot light appears to have a wire going out back of speedometer not an oil line fitting. Does that make sense to you? Thanks

    There isn't an oil line that runs to the idiot light. There's a sender that screws into that port, and you run a wire from it to the idiot light.
