The normal P/S pump is spinning faster or at least equal to the front crank speed. Running if off the back of a dry sump pump you are running it quite a bit slower than engine speed, it may result in a lack of assist at low speeds where you need it most.

So I might have mis-understood what you're intending to do, but something to think about.

I forgive you for not reading more diligently. Maybe the picture of the Tandem it isn't obvious that the PS pump I intend to use is a pulley driven style so I can tailor the pump speed as needed.

The Waterman pump is rated to 17000 rpm so I don't need to worry about over revving it.

You just can't trust a secret with anyone these days.

Thanks Dave You better put additional security on that car while it is away from home. Otherwise you never know who may be wrenching on it.

Rob, you shoulda just got one of these:

I'm liking the falcon. Brett only keeps cheap beer @ the house or he wisely hides the good stuff. Not sure which is true but after him rolling me under the bus with that picture I'm starting to lean one direction.
