Where are you looking, Bill?
The 5th edition is off-the-shelf from Cincinnatti (STORE pull-down) and it's in my library! As I told you off-board, you'll find any number of similar 'errors' in JG books since their purpose is visual identification for judges and NOT intended as be-all/end-all chemical composition specifications. Along the same lines, but in the opposite vein, you'll find Shark era JG books teach us the protective caps on AC compressor lines are brass....
Well they ARE brass but they were cad/zinc plated too boot. Which is worse, disclosing the underlying metal composition or the surface coloration of the finished assy? There's probably not a correct answer and writers COULD improve the books by giving both descriptions. But, to answer your current query, the 5th edition of the '65 JG book reads:
"Base, L75, L79, L76
The oil pressure line is copper clad steel and connection into a brass bushing at the rear of the block behind the intake w3ith barss ferrule fitting. Deduct for copper tubing."
[Description of L84 oil pressure line omitted due to length of current text, current time of day, and my jet lag from returning from Australia]
"Big Block
The oil line is steel and runs from a braqss ferrule fitting and bushing located at the lower left rear of the engine block above the oil filter canister, up through a rubber firewall grommet located at the left side of the wiper motor. The line is typicall coiled into 1 or 2 loops prior to entering the firewall through a grommet left of the wiper motor. When viewed from above, the loops are wound in a clockwise fashion from top to bottom."
