it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
well, couldn't use the aluminum clamp I bought for the pump/pickup tube. The sump tube I have is the new design with the floating clamp, not brazed on the tube like in Quik's pics. I put the new red o-ring on and put it all together. Put new filter and oil in it and fired it up, NO OIL PRESSURE!!! It was better before.Now I have to find out if I broke a wire or something in the OP sending unit. I pulled the oil return block off above the filter and oil poured out so there is oil flow. I am going to put a manual gauge on it tomorrow to verify there is pressure before going any further.

I've often wondered why we just don't put two orings on the tube. Any ideas?

Theory sounds good. Nowhere for them to fall off to, and there is plenty of room for them??? I guess if the tube didn't seat all the way, it could bet sucked into the pump? No, that doesn't seem right or it could suck up the single just as easy.
Gone, but not forgotten!
