Well, looking at the photo it is definitely not a 95% system, the boss at the rear of the block is not even drilled. Must be a full flow style with the modified oil pump that routes the oil pressure out the side of the oil pan. That line would be the input to the filter, it would be the pressure line, not a return line. If not, then this setup will not work. The line going from the filter to the fitting where the original oil pressure fitting goes would be the oil feed to the engine oil gallery.

Like Ronnie (and others) have said, start at the oil pan fitting and see where you have oil pressure. Oil pan fitting, the filter input, then filter output, then fitting at rear of block.
