Before I put this on

Is an Accusump legal in Stock? I think it would really help my 340 live but I definitely don't want to go to the trouble then get bumped.
Thanks,
Mike

I think I have the 2 quart Morroso (no decal) electric shut off but I'll do a manual valve instead. More changes to the oil pump-passages also.

I ran a 3qt. unit and used an electric valve with a separate switch for it. This allowed us to prime the engine on a cold start. Shutting it off after starting the engine allowed it to charge back up. Turned the valve on going into the water, so it was active for the entire run, and then shut the valve off after making the turn off so the can could be recharged coming back the return road and/or back to the lanes. Worked great for me. I would want one on anything with a wet sump system.

I'm not understanding your procedure. Doesn't the valve need to be on in order to re-charge the chamber? I have one but haven't installed it yet but I was planning to have the valve connected so anytime the ignition switch was turned on the chamber valve would be open too.Thanks.
