Thanks,guys but nothing shows up for that fitting...my heads have fittings similar to the shovelhead oil lines,if not the same,but are straight fittings..I am assuming that the case fitting is a 90...

Hi Ron, it's in the 58-68 book, just well hidden.
#63542-63 Elbow, rocker arm oil line (on crank case). 63-65 FL, FLH
Looks like Tedds V-Twin has them... Hey, how can they screw up a brass elbow? :D

Thanks,it's funny cause I have the MOCO genuine service manual for 59-69 and I don't have that pic but I do have in the cylinder head section a pic of the line like your pic shows but no fitting :roll:

His picture is in the parts book, not service manual.
The original fitting is cad plated, has flat sides, 1/8 NPT for the case side and compression fitting on the other. I used to have some NOS ones but they are all gone.

The assembly uses 3 #63529-57 Sleeve, oil line and 3 #63527-57 Nut, oil line. The sleeves are rubber, the same as used on later shovels. Items 63 and 62 on the pic I posted earlier. My guess is you can still get the sleeves at a dealership. This package dated 2012.
