Hi Don C:

Darned good question! I was lookin' around and agree that perhaps the best place would be:

1) either to the left or right of the radiator, either in front of it, up in the nose ahead of the radiator or behind the radiator. Your hose plumbing will be going there for the oil cooler anyway so it can make some sense to put it there.

2) atop the front suspension cross member.

3) behind the bottom of the radiator in a horizonal fashion.

There is an optional electric selinoid switch to keep the oil charge in the accusump. THis is probably a good idea to fit in, as it is in those long periods between starts that you would want to precharge and lube the engine. There is a manual valve that could take place of the electric valve but I think, I would go with the switch. This is called the Electric Valve kit and runs about $110 or so. They sell mounting clamps for the various sump pumps, they are about $20 for a pair.
