Fuel distributor oil feed question
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:25:31 »
The car is a 1966 230sl i removed the oil feed line which attaches from the engine block (below the rpm cable input) and the fuel distributor (right side of pump next to fuel line) I removed it to paint it and stupid me never checked to see which screw went where.  One bolt has some kind of restriction(small hole) and one hole in the bolt since its a banjo bolt.  The other bolt has no insert to restrict and 3 holes for the feed.

Which bolt goes where????

Also while i am on the topic just to make sure no one else touched it the engine block side has aluminum washers and the fuel distributor has copper washers is that right?
