Since yhis is a street car, and won't see a road course, skip the oil cooler. You'll never need it. It adds weight, complexity, and more leak points. It usually drops the pressure a little bit, too.

The simplest method is to use the sandwich plate, and one on line. And that's what you want - simple.

The check valve is used when you plumb the Accusump into the loop with a cooler line. Otherwise the oil will follow the path of least resistance - back to the pan.

The only reason for the oil cooler, is people expect it, just like the dual fan assembly, side pipes (S/C and Comp car's)

Funny at first I felt intimidated,then realized Hey it's my dream car,my money,and my name on the title and registration.Couldn't be happier with the results.Accusump is certainly a good idea for a car that sits over long winters.

Careful Kev... You're adding more weight to that already extremely heavy front end. You'll end up weighing as much as a GT500 You'll be the heaviest Lonestar in existence...

Here's my setup, 2 quart ... pre-lube duty...

mdross1- Don't get what you mean ?

Dave- did you get the electric ? What else did you buy ?

Yep, our LSC are heavy but, that makes them very stout !
The body's are the thickest I've seen.

Kev, I've an electric solenoid, dash mounted switch w/indicator light and a sandwich spacer/line take-off adapter between filter mounting pad and filter (no relocation). Included are stainless braided hoses and fittings. It wasn't a kit. You need to know exactly what you need and buy the individual components.
