Good to know. This is why these sites are so valuable to us hobbyists. Thanks.

Interesting Jim. I don't know what my stock Model A runs for rpms, but I'm usually driving around 45mph. Being a splash oil system, I wonder if higher volume, not pressure necessarily would be beneficial. Thank you for the response.
