making it work

 I figured if the oil return out the pump was bent, then maybe a straight fitting out of the block might work. The issue is that toyota uses such fine threads I couldn't find a fitting like this that would screw right in. I had to use some kind of adapter but unfortunately that made the whole thing stick out too much and I was still dealing with an awkwardly sharp angle for the hose.

At this point, I said F it and made it work. The kink in the hose doesn't look good and I was a bit nervous that running it like that might build up too much pressure in the pump, but it worked fine and I tested the line by bending it and blowing through and it still had flow.It looks bad but it worked out. 

I ended up finding a Chinese made aftermarket vacuum pump with the correct oil return angle from ebay. I ordered it, but while I waited for it to arrive I drove the Cruiser like this and it was fine.
