anyone useing oil accumulator's

been thinking about useing one
just wanted to see what was out there and possibly some pic's of some set up's
thanxs

Started running one last year and love it. I've got the Moroso 3 qt. with the electric valve. I've got mine tied to the ignition toggle switch also but I have another toggle switch in line with it in case I want to turn on the ignition and fuel pumps without priming the motor.

Same here, I turn mine on prime motor, turn back off hit start turn switch back on, fire in the hole.

sounds like a very good thing
i am gonna order on up tomorro
well if the wife say ok
besides the accumulator
what else do i need
i would like to have it to prime motor befor every start
i can do that on a seprat switch
since i have a toggle switch for every thing in the truck
anyone on the forum sell this stuff?

Moroso or Canton are the ones i know of. I use a Moroso and the electric valve as well. Don't for get the mounting hardware also

Just keep in mind if you put it on its own switch that you'll want to turn that switch off first every time before you shut the motor off. If you leave the switch on and kill the motor the piston may push the oil back into the motor before you turn that switch off. Then you won't have a "charged" cylinder to prime the motor with when you start it back up the next time. It actually works pretty well when its tied in with the ignition toggle. That way you don't have to remember to turn it off separately. The only reason I put another switch in series was so I could turn my fuel pumps on (which are also on my ignition switch) to check for leaks, fuel pressure etc. Just a thought. One thing you don't want to do is prime the motor then turn the switch off and run it because that leaves an extra 2.5 to 3 quarts of oil in the pan while you are running.

tireing to my ign switch would be the best
i have enof stuff to turn on and off anyhow
my fuel has it's own switch as well as my water,fans,hyd steering
as far as pipeit in
do i need a external remote oil filter set up?
i have never hooked on up befor
and i am clueless as to what i need to do it
so any help with part#s and what i need would be great
do they have a kit?

i got an svo block
should i still plumb to the block

Jesse...where else would you get oil pressure readings?

Yes ... but now you need a "T" for the oil pressure as the rear location doesn't give a correct PSI oil pressure reading, depending upon what the restriction to the lifter galleries is.

Are you thinking about the Eliminator block?
