Paul,
The most rearward connection (the one your oil pressure guage is connected
to) is the TO FILTER connection. It should be just above a buldge which
runs the entire length of the block. That buldge is the main oil gallery.
The other connection is simply a hole in the side of the block which drains
oil from the filter back into the pan.
As far as getting the plug out of the block, you might try an E-Z OUT BOLT
AND STUD EXTRACTOR which is a tool designed to snap off in bolt holes and
is ten times harder than any known drill bit... er designed to remove stuck
bolts and such.
Not sure about the filter connections/color/element.
Mike
