I am just getting my 1380cc rebuild under way. I am not rebuilding my
original 67, but a 73 that I picked up.
With my 67, when I brake moderately hard, my oil pressure drops. If I run
at least a half a quart over max, I am OK, but if I am a little low, oil
pressure drops to zero!
So I want to baffle the oil pan on the 73. First of all, I noticed that
the 73 pan has one vertical baffle already in it, but I can't remember if
my 67 did. Does anyone remember?
Second, any suggestions for how to baffle the pan? I know I can buy race
pans for >$200, but that seems like overkill and I can't afford it.
I have heard that what's really needed is a horizontal baffle with drain
slots to keep the oil from going over the vertical baffle? This info is
for a Ford Kent, so it might not apply.
Thanks,
