New plan is to install an Accusump system into the car in the next few months with an electronic pressure control valve that will open in the 20-25 psi range (which is just below idle).

Quick note on accusumps. Ran one on my SCCA race Corvette. They are pressurized by air and are effected by oil temperature. Problem is when they activate during a race, the oil let into the pan is more than is pumped back into the accusump if controlled by a simple pressure valve. Hot oil is less dense than ambient temperature oil. I always had more oil in pan at end of race than I started with. Still a good safety item for oil starvation.
Question: It looks like you put your oil pressure gauge sender where the factory oil temp sender is mounted. Where did you put the factory oil temp sender?
