Anybody run an acumulator here?
I was wondering if anybody has run an accumulator in their race car before? I'm putting one in my car this spring. Where is the best place to plumb one in the block? Filter housing, top of the block? Thanks...Todd

I drilled a hole in top of the factory filter housing bisecting the passage going back into the block - the upper one. I tigged an aluminum male -10AN fitting on and plumbed the accumulator to it. Be sure to use a filter with anti drain back so the oil goes to the motor and not to the pan.

Ours is plumbed into the remote oil filter housing. There are in and out ports on both sides. One side goes in and out to the engine the other side goes in and out of the accumulator.

Mine is set up the same as Probird. On the War Chief I made an adapter the goes between the oil filter housing and the block.

I tapped mine directly into the block where the oil filter adapter housing would have bolted on.

Both mine are plumbed into the back of the block by the distributor. You need to have a check valve installed in the system to prevent it from back flushing the oil filter when it dumps.

Taken from the accusump instructions.
Check Valve #24-280 Can be used in systems with external oil lines to ensure that oil can only flow in one direction; has 1/2" N.P.T. female threads. While the check valve is helpful, it is not absolutely necessary as in most cases the oil will not back feed through the oil pump |

Would you please explain where and how you install this check valve.
