Hi folks,
looking for advice on my 250OZ 1963 Ranchero.
Loses oil pressure at high RPM, problem started I believe after installing a DUI distributor. Oil pressure is fine at idle, (60-80 lbs) and under easy acceleration it remains constant. But when you do a severe launch the pressure drops to 0 whereupon I push in the clutch, shut the engine off. after 10 seconds I restart and the oil pressure is fine.
I don't recall this issue with the Duraspark II for the first 500 miles on a new engine - it has less than 1000 miles, running Claysmith Cam, Classic Inline aluminum head and Tremec 5-speed.
Anyone have issues with the DUI distributor and oiling?
thanks, Fred
