No, not for a second, but Nick seemed to imply he has seen it before and the downsides were not observed nor obvious, and why I thought the question was worth asking.
I "thought" side clearance played a major role in oil flow/pressure operating aspects.
Make sure you have the blue o ring that seals the pickup tube to the actual pump. I work at a dealer and have seen many times where the o ring has been overlooked and nooilpressure
The handset (aka the oilpressure sender connected to the ECU harness) is plumbed into the/a oil port in the front the block where the original sending unit was (I believe). I also have a manual gauge plumbed into the return line from the oil filter which showed a slight bit of oil but no...
...with a mechanical gauge... doesn't knock and I've been waiting for it to seize up for 35 years! 2 weeks ago on our way to the Wasaga Beach car show my Wife called out on the 2 ways, "I have nooilpressure" and before I could reply the Son did and said "so what else is new, is it knockin' Mom".
The one that gets pressed in under the main cap is a hidden one that is easier to miss because you don't really see it. That one causes near complete loss of oilpressure. The screw-in one near the distributor I missed caused lower oilpressure everywhere, but most notably in the left side...
I think you'd just have 2 forms of oil pick up
& with both sucking, neither one of them would have enough volume or pressure
taking away from each other, I'd think a single pump vein isn't big enough
to supply them both
now if you could somehow double it,
one feeding each, maybe
(like a 2 stage...
Car is all original and the dash harness is in really good original condition, no splicing or anything. As mentioned, the dimmer switch was bought from a mopar guy who rebuilds them and it sat in my drawer for over a year while I worked on the metal. It’s dimming the dome and only dash light...
I just put 10w-30 in my 1969 383. I’m not sure what oil was in it before but I didn’t seem to have any issues. I hooked a mechanical gauge up and the line filled with oil and held 75 at cold temps. However, when the engine is cold now at idle I hold 28 pounds and the oil line to the gauge won’t...
No pics of the hybrid, but have been getting pieces back on. Plug wires done, spun up oilpressure, set the distributor in after getting the engine on TDC, started making battery cables, hooking up starter wires, alt belt on, fan on, new t-stat in, headers on with some longer bolts, fuel lines...
Here's an interesting excerpt from a similar story.

First off I am sure that WIX makes a great filter. So sure I put them on both my Cruisers. With that being said a faulty 51515 roached my 1FZ.
snip
Luckily I had kept it and all its contents because when he looked at it he discovered the...
Now that I have my Dash all restored and calibrated I am going through the sensors to validate each plus the wiring. I have the Temp sensor all squared away plus its wiring resistance checked. Now am on the Oil Sensor. Wiring and ground are testing good but sensor is a bit erratic.
Current...
Currently working on the valve gear noise.
Might need slightly longer pushrods. Phoning CompCams. On hold at the moment.
Engine is clean, no wear to mention, other than the timing chain. Compcam said they have pushrods 13 thou longer than stock. I will make more accurate measurements tomorrow...
Hey everybody. I solved a no-start issue on our 74 Road Runner,
(including a new ignition switch, neutral safety switch, starter relay…all parts I had around), got her running. (Also, a new ignition key lock)
Here’s my issue now:
1)key on, gauges go live. Great
2)start her up, fuel level...
1968 Plymouth Roadrunner up for grabs at a reasonable price. Bought from a family member who's dad passed away so car has sat for some years. I flushed the old gas and changed oil and shes up and running. Has great oilpressure but carbs need apart and cleaned. No rust on body , its had both...
It only smoked when I started hearing the noise and gave it the beans, out of frustration. No smoke any other time.
I thought i posted the numbers. Will look them up and edit this and the original post.
I have no vacuum advance. I'll check my data log for timing at that RPM. With all the...
STP, Lucas and similar products are viscosity index improvers meant to guard against oil shear breakdown. Really important since anything with sprockets and chains has to deal with oil shear.
The days of using one oil in your daily, hot rod, lawn mower etc. are long gone.
My suggestion is to...
Air is drawn IN through the breather. Air is drawn OUT through the PCV by manifold vacuum. Since much of the crankcase volume is from blowby, just how much air is drawn through the breather is questionable. More often than not there is oil spray around the breather which would indicate there is...
19 page thread, were there any conclusions?
In the last year, Summit no longer carries the Wix filter. Strange that they would drop it.
I think they sell the race version that is marketed by Driven. I don’t get a warm fuzzy about it since the origin is a little cloudy.
My last couple of oil...
Recently my 200,000 Grand Cheeroke lost nearly all its oilpressure. Read 6 psi on the gauge. Sounded fine. Towed it home. The 3.6 engine uses a cartridge style filter, so it makes inspection easy. Pulled the filter to inspect for debris in case there was engine damage. Zero debris, but it...
