Thread: 396+30 oil pressure

Tweet

Has a SW wings gauge-electric (put in '00) that replaced a SW gague-electric put in in 1979. I had taken the 77HP pump out as in '06 was changing to a stock 454. That motor had issues and I was moving in 3 weeks. Run a 6 qt stock pan and had changed the HP pump for the stock and changed out the pickup. The blower motor was sold and I had to buy it back (at a premium) in order to move.
Divorce can be rough on ya! Any case the 77HP pump was lost by the other owner. Thus I used a new stock pump with a stock pickup for the 6 qt truck pan. The '29 AA sat for a little over 1 year. At 6-7 mpg it was just too high of a cost on gas.

In case your your not sure on the years I've shown, I have owned this trk for right at 40 years. Ya, I'm a grey beard.

The fuel pump is a Carter street, I think-put in 1999. There is no way to turn down pressure as it is fixed. Carb change over was 2006.
I had not checked bearings at that time as the motor was fine when I pulled it out and bought it back two months latter. I'll need to wait to spring when it warms up to change HV/HP pump I have.

I had put stock pump in as cold days the pressure would peg my 80psi gauge.

Thanks for all the help,
Earl
