Oil line location

[52B3B108]

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on the forum but I have a question regarding the location of the oil lines going to the filter canister. My son took them apart and then is questioning if he marked them right. I have hoses on my '52 truck so I can't match them up like if they had been steel line. The form link below discussed what I'm looking for but there isn't a general consensus. The inlet is at the top of the canister and the outlet is at the bottom. Is the top hole on the block always the pressure? If so, then I'll just hook it up to the top inlet on my canister. This was a long way around but any help would be appreciated.

;)o.k., it looks like the upper line from the engine block is a hard line and it runs from the block just below the freeze plug to a fitting on the bottom of the filter housing, the Lower line from the block is a steel braided flex line and it runs to a fitting in the top of the oil filter housing, here a a couple pics I shot in the dark... hope it helps.

in the attatched photo 1091 and 1993 you can see the entire hard line ran from the upper fitting on block to the bottom of filter canister, you can almost see the entire lower steel braided line that runs to the top of the filter housing also. you might have to tilt your head a bit, the camera was sideways getting the shot...
