Default I have one on my car

Accusump and Canton look and work about the same. Either one will do the job. I have an Accusump 3 quart and it saved my motor from a broken rocker shaft when racing. Lifter popped out of bore and was loosing oil pressure in the motor, went from 75 psi to 20 psi with lifter out. Caught motor in time. Repaired the rocker shaft and preoiled car. Fired up motor and have 75 psi again. I use for autocross and road racing at R&G. 2 notes, If you use the electric switch for open and close, add a relay for the power and fuse. The other thing is mount out of HARM'S way. Put a shield around it for protection. It's nice, turn on switch and wait 10 seconds, 30 psi of oil in the motor. Start motor and recharge system. When racing, turn on switch for protection. After race is over rev up motor to refill tank. Ready for next start. If the big 3 used these per lubers, motor would go 500K miles without a bearing failure. I am adding one to my tow truck with a new motor. 3 quart. Some people add a low pressure light on the dash for oil. If car sits a long time, I let the air pressure out of the accusump and recharge it before startup. I think it helps save the seal inside the housing. Rick Lake
