Thanks Jerry. I think I'll be putting mine right behind the radiator laying horizontally on top of the subframe.

Gae, just a thought...Chris (Project Major Havoc) mounted his switch activated accusump horizontal and forward of the fuel tank and ran the hoses up to the engine. Seemed like a good ldea for weight distribution.

Weight distribution yes, but it's about the farthest run possible for the lines to get to the motor when it needs it.

I don't know the part well enough to make that call (in other words are the hoses pressurized at all times?), but I believe Canton approved that placement.

Hopefully Chris jumps in here :popcorn2:

Moroso's Accumulator is connected to the pressure side of the engine's oiling system. When the engine is running, oil pressure forces reserve oil into the accumulator and compresses the air ahead. If oil pressure should suddenly drop because of hard acceleration, severe cornering or hard braking, the air pressure immediately sends oil to the main galleries. When the danger is over and the pump is once again primed with oil, the oil pressure forces oil back into the Accumulator where it is ready for the next emergency.
Moroso has 3 types of Accumulators. There is the original Accumulator which can be used for street or track. The Heavy Duty Accumulator is designed for extreme applications and all-out competition. The Accumulator 2 is highly recommended for light-duty applications including small-displacement street performance and mild off-road vehicles. All are available in a 1.5-quart version while the Accumulator and Heavy Duty Accumulator also have a 3-quart version. The 1.5-quart version is perfect for small displacement and 4- and 6-cylinder engines while the 3-quart is for 8+ cylinder applications. Moroso Accumulators come with a manual ball valve (except Accumulator 2), unlike competing models.
Moroso Accumulators can also be used to manually pre-lube engines before starting to prevent cold-start scuffing and premature bearing wear.

Yeah I am not certain either. But between Chris and Todd those 2 will have all the details for sure.
