Here, maybe this will help you. It appears that you plug the center hole.
Tapping block for remote filter
Tapping block for remote filter
It really makes no difference cause both holes lead to the same place.thanks Rusty
it looks like in the first picture (post #4) they ran it through the center hole
in the other pics they block it, like you mentioned
I wonder why the inconsistency
Ok, im out. the info for making it a remote setup has been in the mopar engine manuals since about 1973. It would be crazy to drill and tap a oil galley on a assembled engine. diagnosing a leak isnt very difficult. good luck to you sir.

I don't see a problem with it since the only hole you need to tap is the output coming from the pump. Grease your tap up good and most of the tappings will stick to it then when you remove it crank the engine over and the oil pump will flush the rest out.Ok, im out. the info for making it a remote setup has been in the mopar engine manuals since about 1973.

You dirty old man!That's what she said.
My feathers arnt ruffled, I just aint gonna continue down this online diagnostic path.........I tend to agree. I was only trying to give him what he asked for. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.
I've tapped a couple blocks and the lower hole is all you need to tap and 3/8" NPT is the biggest you can go because right next to the hole the block starts turning outward for the trans mounting flange. I know I took some pics but I can't seem to find them. If I locate them I'll post them
Yeah the lower small hole is the output. I'll keep looking for the pics. I have a bazillion and need to go through and organize themtrust me guys, if I could figure out how to fix this the proper way, I would
would love to see a few more pics of you can find them
so, the small hole is the output?
I always figured the big center hole was
that's good to know

do you remember if that hole is the right size to tap it 3/8 NPT ?
because I think I can sneak a tap up there, but I doubt I can get a drill in there
doubt very much it's cracked. plate/MINIMAL sealant/torque to 15ft-lbs, no leaks.I suspect a crack on the sealing surface of the block
by installing a remote filter set up like this I can bypass that sealing area, hopefully fixing the leak
I have tried several different filters and brands, al with the same result
