Default oil return (turbo) fitting location

where are you guys putting your oil return fitting, esp in an "A" body car
I wanted to try and weld in the fitting before installing the engine so I don't have to test fit, then remove the engine again
turbo will be on the pass side-I will pick up the feed off the orig. sensor location, or down by the filter, not sure which is the best location, prob the same vol. of oil??

i drilled and tapped the timing cover to the pass side of the balancer and used a 45* fitting going from 3/8 pipe to -8 an . works great . i think it is between the right side oil pump bolts. i'll look for a pic.

I have mine on the driver's side, front cover. Drilled, tapped, and welded a -10 bung.

It fits, but very tight. Its also inside the belt routing, which I do NOT recommend.

Here's mine, but I should of went with a -10 vs the -12 just for ease of servicing.
