Ok so im getting this basket case back together. The previous owner must have been running premix on this thing because the oil line going to the block is capped.
i have been trying to get this figured out and i think i now know why, im missing the brass nipple for the oil in from the oil tank to the oil pump as shown in this picture of a complete oil pump

my question is can i just get a new 90 degree input and thread it back in or is it pressed or should i just get a new(used) one because they are only like 20 bucks on ebay.

also how hard is it to replace this thing?

i am thinking it is probably pressed in there, as the parts diagram for the oil pump doesn't list a part number on that piece. I would just get one from ebay unless you have the proper tools to attach a new fitting which you may or may not find.
