[DeTomaso] oil injector question

[Larry Finch]

Chris,

I put a now obsolete Mallory 4030 electric oil pre-luber on my F-150  
back in 1996.  Now at 176,000 miles and the engine runs as strong as  
ever with no repairs.  It might have done that good without the pre- 
luber, but....

The Mallory used a pump marked Series 30 and included an adjustable  
timer module. It looks very much like the Mallory fuel pumps in the 60  
series, and in fact I used the Series 60 brushes for a replacement  
some years ago.

Mallory no longer lists it, and the ESP would do the same thing.

I noted that ESP also sells the control module by itself, so perhaps  
another pump could be wired in to save on the cost of their kit?

Or a pressure tank approach, like the Accusump, will do the same  
thing. If you use the pressure tank approach, you should include the  
electric solenoid valve to open and then close the tank upon start up  
and shut down. Other wise, you have to get out and flip the valve  
manually.

Bear in mind, they both will require the installation of external oil  
lines - carrying the lifeblood of your engine - and thus need a solid,  
correct installation.
