My plan is to add an oil accumulator to my drag car to remove the loss of oil pressure during slow down and braking after crossing the finish line.

I see Canton make two versions, a 3 qt. and a 2 qt., how do you determine which size is best for your application?

Those who has one or has used on in the past could you please provide input.

Bob,

i have a 2 quart canton and a 6.5 quart pan. i have not had a chance to review my bearings as i have not had to take engine out for any reason. Will be popping it open soon, and can give updates then. Its good insurance, if you have a great pan you may not need it, but for the money and the weight, i beleive it to be a great additon.

The bigger the better, if you have room.
I've got the three-quart model.

Jim,
Do you use your 3 qt. with a remote oil filter system? And if so did you just "T" in into the return line going back into the engine?

I use the 3qt. I feel more is better and the weight difference is small. Mine is mounted on the firewall where the heater box was and is plumbed directly into the block utilizing the 3/8th threaded hole on the block next to the distributor hole. I used a -10 line. Worked on my stock and IAII blocks.

Yes, remote filter and teed into the return line to the block.

Thank you, just making sure I do this right, you start adding up all the hose, fittings, wiring, valves as well as the accumulator and it's something the old wallet can only pay for once. :-)

Next question, lol, do you guy's use a standard size filter or a deeper filter when using a relocation mount?

I use a PF-24 AC Delco filter currently, should I look at running a different size?

Do they make a deeper filter that is the same diameter as a PF-24?

my system currently uses an easily obtainable ford motorcraft FL1A. Having cut many apart, i am please in the construction of this filter and it has proven up to the task for a few years now. I also like the K&N and Wix.
I am also an advocate of mobil one 10-40 or 15-50. When you are going rounds its one less thing to think about. I am sure there are oils that are worth some power, but there may be a trade off. I am a lowly bracket racer, ill give up some power for protection when we are round robin

Because of space considerations, I use a relatively small WIX racing filter (don't have access to the number at the moment). I usually remove the filter and cut it open to check for debris after every time out to a track, so filter size isn't very important to me. I use the filter more to catch problems early.
