my moroso e-vavle is a ball valve same size as my -10 line

They work ok for what they're designed for (air) Just not that flash when you're trying to flow Hot Oil...

As I said I worked for the company back in the 80's so am quite familiar with the Valves, the electric ball valve intrigues me as I can see that actually working, pity no pic!

You guys are talking about using it when the pressure gets low, right? Not running it full flow all the time? I have the same green hat Goyen solenoid on mine, I just want to know that it will work fine for what I plan on: priming the engine before I start it up, and automatically supplying backup oil.

As I've stated a couple of times I run mine open :p

I run my accumulator "Open" at all times, you give the engine a rev pressure goes up the accumulator builds more pressure you back off the accumulator returns that pressure to the engine and so on constantly, big benefit is if say you corner/brake ahrd and uncover the pickup and the pump get s a gulp of air normally you'd get 0 pressure for a split second and the Crank would touch the bearings and knock shortly after, with the accumulator this can't happen as it fills the hole left by the 0 pressure event saving the engine.

Guys I think this has become my new thing for next year now thanks haha :) Like I need more braided hoses in my engine bay now I have tons! SO what do you use for a pressure source so the tank knows you fall in oil pressure so it's pushing more oil in the system?
