Here is an alternative setup that I have used on my Cobra for the past five years, Pre-Luber Products. Instead of a pressurized tank this system uses an electric pump plumbed into your oil cooler line to pressurize the oiling system prior to ignition. Turning the ignition key to the #1 position begins the process. The pump runs for 60 seconds and automatically shuts off. It provides 40-45 lbs. of oil pressure. The unit can also be set to run for 1-5 minutes after you shut the engine down to prevent coking but I chose to disable that feature on my unit.

The hose to the lower left is the outlet from the pump to the gold anodized T fitting in the oil cooler line (hose on the right). The hose in the middle is the supply hose to the inlet port of the pump coming from the oil pan.
