Project V8 RX-7: More Oiling Insurance from Improved Racing, Accusump and Earl’s (Part 1 of 2)

,

Accusump electric valve and switch We chose an electric style valve rather than a manual valve since we will not be mounting our Accusump in an easily accessible location.  All the necessary switches and wiring are included with this option.
Accusump cylinderThe installation instructions and stickers on either end of the cylinder warn the installer to secure the mounting clamps over the very ends of the cylinder where the stickers are located.  Tightening them down anywhere else along its length could distort the cylinder and prevent the piston from moving freely inside.

Our test fit got the Accusump high enough to be out of harm’s way.
We removed the tank straps and drilled the remaining hole in each for our Accusump brackets.
