Has Anyone Dry Sumped an FE?

Thanks, Dave. That's what I was looking for. If dry sump systems are an another potential source for leaks, then that's something to think really hard about.

Though I'm not personally familiar with the problem, an external oil pump does solve the early distributor gear wear problem caused by cold oil startup with high volume internal oil pumps. Do a search and you can learn about that issue. Then you can weigh the positives (many) of a dry sump system vs the complexity and cost of an external oil pump, 6 lines, and a tank.

I bought my car with the system already installed and I like it. I installed a sight glass to visually check oil level. I just can't speak from experience relative to a standard FE setup.
