OK, I'm scared to ask,but can you guys go ahead and give me some confliciting opinions on the oil line from the oil tank (rear of car) to pressure intake of the pump. It will be -16. guessing on length, maybe 10' long. Does it need to have an inner support spring installed to keep it from collapsing? I'm guessing in a perfect world, it should be well supplied with oil from the tank (as long as it stays fairly full) and not be subject to collapse. Peterson says they don't like those for restriction and turbulence issues. ScottJ told me what he thinks already. Jerry, sounds like you've run dry sumps alot, what are your thoughts?
I case you can't see in the pics, there are no suction lines from the oil pan to the pump, pump bolts directly to the pan and passages are machined into the pan. Thanks for the free advice in advance.
