Pre-oiler question

[Silversmith]

Chas, I'm sure you have more knowlage about FE's than I. I was stating a opinon about accumulators. The engine I have pulls very strong approching 7000 rpm. While it's true my AC dosen't pull like CSX 3116 that I grew up in did; even though both AC's have & had the same engine type & builder. CSX 3116 did have two 715 holley dbl. pumpers, a different cam & 12.5:1 compression to my single dbl. pumper, a like cam & less compression. Also, CSX 3116 did weigh almost 500lbs less than my era. But I assure you that my sideoiler will pull very strong @ 7000rpm. In fact, if you wish to come to Maine I will be happy to show you. Once the snow melts that is. Bring your ride, we'll take a romp up on the Kangamangus Hwy. in the White mountains. Then romp down to the coast & pig out on Lobsta's. As to my accumulator & my recomendation? I feel extremely secure with 12+ qts. I have heard it said, when it come to real power "there is no replacement for cubic inches." Well, I feel the same way about oil & oil pressure when high Hp is involved, more is better!. Thats my opinon, & I'm sticking with it. By the way, Holmon Moody is still around, and they were/are magicians!
