Bob, the oil pump pickup has been moved. It's now considerably closer.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Had a few minutes this morning to get the lifters set up and the rockers on. I have three different lifters set up and I'm checking how they each react to oil pressure as well as differences rear to front.

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
The oil collects in the valley and can’t drain back as fast with those extension vents. I’d get rid of them and leave the holes open for faster drain back to the pan.
Use the screw-in the back restrictors and drill the holes out a little larger and see what that looks like along with removing those extension vents. Just my 2 cents ....

Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.
Todd, et al,
Trivial input perhaps, albeit solidly scientific in analysis. The oil goes in the opposite direction of vehicle acceleration, so the oil return heads to the rear very naturally. So does the oil in the sump (pan). The angle of the liquid is a function of the acceleration in g. 1g = 45deg liquid angle 60ft times reference is something interesting to look at. Particularly where the oil pickup is placed in a drag racing vehicle! 1.4sec = 62.28deg liquid angle 1.5sec = 58.9deg liquid angle 1.6sec = 55.54deg liquid angle All these things and more were included in the paper I sent to you a while back. These things apply to all liquids in the vehicle, including the fuel system. Regards, HB2 |
