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

Stealing a little time from work here but quickly this is what I have. Also, with the mechanical the pressure set to dispurse will be pressure at engine shut down which is why I will be going with a solenoid in the 40 psi range.

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.

should be set at 25 lbs. It will be dumping extra oil in your motor at hot idle if it is set at 40 psi when it does not need it and assuming you are getting the 3 quart system, that is way too much.
Randy Bell has on on his car and he also wired a red warning light to the system. The light would come on when the system discharged just so he would know when and where on the track he was losing pressure.
