I talked to Steve at Milodon today about my issue. It almost sounded like the may have switched from a 90 degree pan fitting to a 45 because the number 1 tube on TTI headers was in the way. I have Hedman hustler race headers and have a different issue. He told me not to put a straight union coming out of the pump cover, and that you need to have a loop up to keep the oil in the pump from draining back into the pan. He said that is what causes the priming issues. He also said that they put a 45 degree fitting on the pump and face it upward because of this. In my case, I am leaning towards a new hose with a 120 degree hose end at the pump and go to a straight hose end and 90 degree bulkhead on the pan. That should give me a little bit of loop and then pretty much straight down to the pan fitting. Does this sound reasonable? I took a couple pics of the issue that I will post also. Thanks for the replies guys!
