[DeTomaso] Remote oil filter setup

[asajay at asajay.com]

My take on the Amsoil bypass filtration is to save it for Fleet  
vehicles.  On a classic or muscle car like the Pantera, I don't know  
I'd go that far.  Just change regular filters on a regular basis, but  
use -good- filters.  I've not tried the newest model of Amsoil oil  
filter, but the old ones were pretty nice.  I still have a stock of  
them as I purchased them by the caseload long ago.

On the Mach I, I installed an Accusump two quart oil accumulator with  
electric valve.  The valve is closed unless voltage is applied.  I  
have it tied to the ignition.  When I turn the ignition ON, the valve  
opens and oil pressurizes the system.  I can actually see it on the  
oil pressure gauge on the dash.  Once I get the oil pressure, then I  
start the car.  The engine pressurizes the oil accumulator and when I  
turn the key OFF, the valve shuts and traps the oil under pressure in  
the accumulator.  Pretty much a close to a pre-oiler as I'll get  
without spending a -lot- more money.

I went with a two quart as the three, more commonly sold, was too  
large to find a suitable spot for.  I have some photos here:

there were taken with a regular film 35mm camera, which I'm sometime  
not very good at running, so forgive the quality of photos.  :)
