Default Oil filter flow direction

If you remove the oil filter mount two oil passeges are there. One forward and one back.

I've got AN fittings on these, but I'm not sure of the orientation as far as low goes.

This is the ASA pan with AN fittings. Anyone know which is In and which is Out?

The FRONT line goes IN to the oil filter, the REAR line is coming OUT of the oil filter (notice my pressure sensor AFTER the filter)

Thanks guys. That is what i ended up with. I made an educated guess by using a blow gun and blowing into each hole. The one that blew out the drain plug on the oil pan was what i assumed to be the return and i turned out to be correct. lucky for me the remote filter mount (stock from the Syclone) is marked in and out. Thanks again!
