Here's my two cents. I owned the "Red Brick" aka "Tim's Valiant" for a couple of years and only drove it on the street. It has an Accusump as well as a road race pan. One of the advantages of the Accusump is that you can prime the oil system before you crank it. Great for when the car sits for a long time. The oil lines can leak. I had a one medium size leak that I fixed by re-sealing the connection. The Accumsump makes oil changes a bit more of a task, but not too involved. If you really don't want to mess with a road race pan, it is a good alternative. Spend the money for the electric valve. Makes it much easier to deal with.
