I know that road racers swear by these things for preoiling on startup and for maintaining oil pressure while driving: http://www.accusump.com/acc_products/acc_units.html Considering the oiling problems inherent to the BBB's, is anyone out there running one of these? Just curious. - Freed
Oooo, Ooooo, Oooooo.....ME!:grin: With the accusump (actually a Moroso Accumulator though in my case), a remote Moroso filter mount, "long" System1 filter with -10AN lines and fittings and a TA 8qt pan I have in the neighborhood of 13-14qts. Also there is a one-way check valve (small in-line red canister about a $90 by itself but necessary!) to prevent the pressurized oil in the Accumulator from going backwards into the filter instead of directly into the engine as it's suppose to. I really like the piece of mind one of these provide by being able to pre-oil before start-up as well as having it in case of the pick-up itself being un-covered and gulping air.:shock: Here's a pic of mine mounted in car without engine at the time.....
I have a sneakin suspicioun what you have is exactly what I need since I spun a bearing. Kerry would you run a complete list of exactly what it takes to build that oil system Please !!:eek2:
Hi Guys, Sure will Mike! It may be a few days for me to gather part numbers and such as I'm leaving to go to S. Carolina tomorrow morning and won't be back till late Sunday or early Monday.:TU:
Hi Guys, Mike.......here's the list for the above pic that I promised to you. __________________________________________________ Moroso 3QT Accumulator Pt#23900 Moroso Remote Oil Filter Mount Pt#23760 (inlet left/outlet right....needs to be ported to properly flow as this is a cast piece) Earl's Oil Filter By-Pass Adapter Pt.#1277 (also needs to be ported same as above Moroso filter mount for same reason) Earl's One-Way Check Valve Pt.#251010 (-10AN) (1) 1/2" pipe plug for top of remote mount (5) 1/2"NPT to -10AN Adapters (1) -10AN Flare "T" (1) Straight Swivel Coupler (for between Check Valve and "T" fitting) (2) 45* -10AN Hose Ends (I used all Russell Endura Ends as seen in pic) (4) 90* -10AN Hose Ends (2) Straight Hose Ends 10 Ft. section length of -10AN Braided Hose __________________________________________________ I also have a Moroso remote electric solenoid (Pt.#23905) to replace the manual valve that comes with the Accumulator I'd sell for $50 if you're interested in it (Jeg's sells for $99)? Hardly used, works just fine just don't need right now. Here's a pic of it.....
I also have a Moroso remote electric solenoid (Pt.#23905) to replace the manual valve Kerry, I'll take the solenoid for the oil accumulator if you still have it. Contact me off list. benderbrew@aol.com. Thanks Len
ACCUSUMP FREED I'VE USED THE MASTERLUBE SYSTEM, THAT'S AVAILABLE IN THE NATIONAL DRAGSTER, WITH GREAT SUCCESS. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOROSO UNIT BUT I'VE HAD RACERS TELL ME THEY THINK THE MASTERLUBE IS A BETTER DEAL. HOPE THIS HELPS RANDY
