I have no picture ,I'll try to explain The engine has a AndyF B/RB front plate. Starting with a remote oil filter pump cover up to a remote filter mounted on the front motor plate. The filter top has 4 ports, I used 2 of those. Coming from the pump into the filter, then out of the filter returning to a input tee at the pump. from that tee up to the accumulator. I have an electric valve on the accumulator that is actuated by the ignition switch. All plumbed with #8an fittings and hose. The accumulator is mounted on the cage front down tube. I felt that by running the oil straight back into the engine where the oil usually travels was better than plumbing it into the back of the block where the oil pressure sender was as that port is small.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

-10 lines from the oil pump cover to remote filter, extra port on the oil filter remote to accumulator. sorry, no picture.
Same way I did it.... as REBEL shows... worked great
then I changed over to a dry sump and primed it

Mines way to simple. One #8 to the pump. Mounted on the engine plate. Sorry line is missing in the pic. Goes from accumulator to the plug on the Indy Max pump Just below the electrical connector at the bottom of the alternator.

I'll tell you a story at Vegas the car set for months at Al's place went to start it fired accumulator good oil pressure then started car low oil light came on empty what was left of the accumulator fired it again low oil light came on and stayed on. Took the distributor out and primed it took 5 minutes with a drill motor almost gave up thinking were done. That's when I went to the check valve and remote filter before it feed into the back of the block. But this way what comes out of the accumulator is filtered no more pump cavitation. You don't need to run a remote filter I'd say without reservation if your not using the Milodon dual line pickup and feeding into the back of the block.

OP, make sure and plumb the line from the accumulator to the "out" side of the remote filter adapter so the anti drain back valve in the oil filters acts as one way valve to make sure the pressurized oil goes into the motor and not back into the oil pan
