As I recall, mine went to the rearmost blanking bolt along the oil gallery
(that bulge that runs along the LH side of the block at about the level of the
oil filter head.

I agree, not such a good idea, IMO. As long as you keep the passage through
the rocker shaft open, the valves & rockers will get enough oil but not too
much. The external feed puts way too much oil on top of the head, which
results in excessive oil burning unless you also add valve stem seals, which in
turn rob the stems of the oil they need for long life.
After a leaking seal caused a broken piston, I retired the oil feed.
