I just run an oil filter bypass sandwiched between the pump and filter. Have done that on several engines and have that on my Hemi now. The accumulator gets used more as a pre-luber than anything else anymore. Here's a pic of it on during mock-up:

We used a Milodon billet oil pump with the 2 -10 fittings. We plumbed that to a external filter mount, and then "Teed" off the motor feed side with the accumulator.

I have never used the new 3 quart one I bought yet, I will install it into a #12 AN Tee on the return line going to the block, not the pump side , from the remote (#12AN) oil filter line I did install one on a customers 426 street hemi motor years ago by drilling the rear of the stock drivers side oil passover passage a little bigger( from 1/16 or maybe 1/8 NPT) to maybe 1/4 NPT But looking back now I think it should be used on the front of the motor to feed oil into the motor from a bigger line like when being run , not from the back through a very small hole I think it needs to supplement the oil supply when needed if the pressure drops enough to allow it to work, not fight the oil pressure coming in from the front of the motor from the oil pump when the pressure drops a little I hope this thinking make sense

has anyone done an accusump install that was "hidden" from the engine bay ? i'm thinking of something like this for the new engine in my charger. i'm looking to "hide" as much as possible, the underhood clutter.

I wouldn’t call it hiding, but mine was mounted between the two seats behind the shifter. Manual ball valve for priming etc... There was enough weight out front. Track techs didn’t like it, but nothing(at that time) in the rules saying no. Don’t know about today’s rules.

That seems like a lot of line and slow response time back to engine. Ok for a pre Oiler I guess I don’t see what would make you think this. The oil line is not empty.

We mounted ours under the radiator, 3 qt Canton. You can barely see it. We got one as added insurance, the car is a wheelstander and has a shallow sump for ground clearance.

why do you need one ????? i would like one because when done, my car most likely will not be started every other day, and i don't like a dry start. also, i don't want to have to pull the distributor all the time to spin the oil pump over for a pre-lube. as i stated before, i want a clean under hood look. i don't want it in the passenger compartment for several reasons, although mounting it underneath the floor or under the trunk floor with a remote switching device/valve might deserve serious consideration. thanks for that idea whomever suggested that !

Not a big block , but here is where my 3 qt. Moroso sits on an early A body. Hood closes with no issues , and it is hilarious to hear people point at it and tell their buddies that it is a " Nitrous system " at cruise nights. I have told people what it is when they ask , but correcting people just doesn't go well some times so I allow them their illusions. Yeah............three times and counting. I hear you on that, the Canton ones are blue as well
