QUESTION: Yes I have a single 3/8 oil fitting behind the rear cylinder.

Answer
Sorry for my lateness. The fitting on the bottom of the oil tank goes to the fitting at the rear of the oil pump, the fitting at the rear of the cam cover goes to the small fitting on the back side of the oil tank by the battery positive post, and the last fitting which is behind the rear cylinder goes to the inlet to your oil cooler and then back to the fitting at the top of the oil tank under the cap also all oil lines should pass under your starter motor.
