We bought this project truck in pieces and the oil pressure line is hooked to a sending unit and then extends up to back of the engine block, as expected. There is an extension of about 16" on the end of the line and I have no idea where it should be connected.
I looked at the below prior posts, but only found one for a BB.

We tried to connect the line to the back of the block and the hole was too big, so it slid right in without using threads.
Does it really matter where I connect the line as it is just a dead end to create pressure?
I've attached a few pics hoping someone can tell me where I should, or if it matters, where I connect the oil pressure line on a 402ci.
Thank you in advance, and sorry for using pdf's for the images...

Second pic, front of block, identical port to the back which was too big
