<p>I can't comment on the Spitfire side of it, but I like the
electric valve in the regards that I never forget to shut the
valve when I turn off the engine - it's wired to the ignition
circuit. Jack would forget the manual valve about 20% of the time
and then lose the startup benefit plus you have lower pressure
when it's refilling the accusump.</p>

Best thing is getting 30-40 pounds of oil pressure before I
hit the key. Open valve, then start engine. When you’re
done, close valve, then shut off engine. BTW, my pressure is
set at 80 psi on the Accusump when engine is off and valve
closed, which is about what the engine is at when running.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Amici,
<div> </div>
<div>Congrats to all participants in this year's Kastner
Cup. Us West Coaster's are looking forward to the
Buttonwillow event in 2019. In fact, it has been my soul
motivation to bring my Spitfire back to life after a 43
year snooze...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have noted Accusump installations on the majority
of our LBC race cars. I am looking at installing one but
don't quite understand the installation. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>1, 2 or 3 quart for my 1300 cc Spitfire?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Manual or electric valve installation? The cylinder
will be sitting right next to me on the passenger side
of the car.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Which side of my oil filter head supplies the oil
cooler? Nearest the firewall or nearest the radiator?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Pics and advice greatly appreciated. I only have 10
months left to get the car ready!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
