The road course thrash has been on all week. I won't run a road course without an accumulator. (Poor mans dry sump) An accumulator will provide up to 5 seconds of oil pressure if the oil pump pick up is uncovered in a high g corner. After watching video at spring mountain, I know they have many 3-5 second high g corners. The accumulator holds 3 quarts and has a piston that reacts instantly when I turn the valve on. I won't use it on the street. I'll have to turn the valve off while running to store the 3 quarts. I can also prime my engine by opening the valve before start up. Pretty cool piece. It's frickin huge though. I had no choice but to mount in on the inner fender. I like the race look of it.
I plumbed it into the pressure side of the oil system. I found a trick three way an fitting from earls that allowed me to plumb it in on the return side of the filter. I had some tow hooks water jetted as they were needed for tech. They are probably a little over kill but I figured I'll use them to tie down the car once I get my enclosed trailer. I'm about an hour or two away from being ready to haul some ass around spring mountain raceway. It's going to be crazy. From what I hear, speeds in the 130-150 are obtainable down at least one straigtaway. It's a frickin pig right now. I haven't wiped down the frame and so on for a while. http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...1969/002-5.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...ck1969/004.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...1969/008-1.jpg |
that ACCUMULATOR is the pig! that thing is gargantuan. :wow:

I ain't facken around here. LOL I don't want my oil pressure gauge pegging zero Saturday.

Why don't you take that big ass Moroso sticker off there and keep the engine bay looking super clean! Or is that not a sticker? :_paranoid
|
It wasn't high on the racing checklist. :rofl:
|
why don't you put an equally big sticker on the valve covers that say:
VALVE COVERS :D |
I'm trying to edumacate a few fellers around here. Evidentally barbeque flash dance knows it all. That was wrong, but really funny. :rofl: I'm sure the sticker is coming off, just not today or tomorrow. I've been working on a few to many squats getting off and on my creeper! You wouldn't know since your paying somebody else to cuss like a sailor. I do like your valve cover idea. I may actually get some vinyl stickers that say 1969 Camaro for the doors. :rofl: What happended to my thread? No wonder I can't ever find anything in my thread!
