Pressurized Oil Tank

[oldford2]

If your engine was rebuilt using pre-lube on all the bearings and has run after assembly there should be plenty of oil in the bearings for you to start it without causing any damage. Pressure should build in a couple of seconds. However, to be sure you can prime the system by removing the sender and with a small funnel pour in a half cup of oil. I have a 5" pipe nipple standpipe that keeps the sender up above the firewall for easy access. Keep things simple. John
