[Fot] Question on Accusump Install with External Oil Lines On a Spitfire

[Rocky Entriken]

Same here, on my 1147 engine ... a simple double-male fitting into the oil 
filter adapter (on the side of the block) and a tee right there. The line is 
the one coming from the cooler and the stem of the tee is the line going to 
the Accusump so what goes into the Accusump is clean, cool oil.

And then ... you screw that one in first, the short line reaching to the oil 
filter second. :-)
