oil accumulator

[1970chevy]

Is any body running a oil accumulator on a bbc i just pick on up and wondering were i should tie it in i was looking at the oil press line that comes off by the filter

ya we have one, have it plumbed into the lower portion of the block.I removed one of the plugs , right near the front of the block. sorry i don't think i have any pics..

I use one its a 1 1/2 qt . Its plumbed in above the oil filter . I just had a line made and used a fitting that I could tap off of for my oil press guage . I would recommend a 3 qt one though . I broke a stock oil pump one time and lost the rod bearings and bent the crank . An extra 1 1/2 qts would have saved it .

do u leave it on all the time or only on start up

[regan wilson]

They tell you not to but I do . I do have a Titan pump and run synthetic oil though . Just baby it when you start it like you should anyway .

thanks now i was reading and it said to put 2 quart in accumulator do u run 6 quart in motor and 2 in accumulator or run 4 quart in motor and 2 in accumulator

The accumulator is (extra oil)....You will have to add 2qts to your normal oil capacity .
