When going to an external oiling system, do I need to plug the oil pick up tube port in the crank case? Any thing else that I should be on the look out for with this system? I have a dual line swinging pick up, but I'm only planing to use a single line to the pump cover. Can I just plug off the other outlet from pick up?

Thanks, Brian

you can plug the hole in the block where the oilpick up would be


I have a milidon duel setup, took off the plate and made it a single oilline setup


and used the stock length oil pump drive

I did use a 1/2 pipe plug to close the pickup off on the inside of the block, it does need to be plugged(if it is a non race 426 or Hemi block)on every B-RB or Hemi block if you don't use the stock pick up with the Milidon external systems

this is how it is in my world block... you didnt say what type of block it was etc...

It's a stock 440 block. Ok to just put a pipe plug in the bottom where pick up tube would be?
Thanks, Brian

Thanks. Huntin' a plug!

put some red lock tigth on the threads too

Good Idea. Thanks

You can also use a small welsh plug(freeze plug) in the block as already mentioned, it will go in the hole from the pickup under the pump, that works also, but I trust the pipe plug with thread locker more

I used a pipe plug where the pickup went and a core plug under the pump ! No wonder my junk is so heavy LOL
