I have a 1915 C-36 which has the same engine as your C-37. The oil lines run from the pump on the bottom of the engine to the oil flow gage in the dash and then back out of the gage and down to the carburetor side of the crank case. The oil is then feed internally to the main bearings and rod dippers. I'll get you some photos after this Labor Day weekend. Come and see us over on the Pre War Buick (buickclub.org) forum on this web site. smile Dandy Dave!

It looks like Dandy Dave has got you covered on this question. Make sure the dipper trays are full of oil when you install the oil pan.

You should always have oil going through the sight glass while running. If you do not see oil flowing when you first start the engine, you may need to prime the oil pump.
