The difficulty I have seen with all the prelubers is the tiny fitting sizes. All my oil lines are 12AN. Conversion tees to go from 12 to whatever the pre lubes have are nearly impossible to find.

To get size 12AN check valves, I had to wait 7 months for goodridge in England to make two of them and they were $250 each!

I think with stock type applications you can certainly build a case for not needing pre lubers. When you have substantial $ invested in a good high performance motor, to say pre luber insurance is wasted $ is an easy statement to make, especially when you are not the one underwriting the iron cost.

Mine was a # 6 line plumbed into the oil filter adaptor.It ran for somemany [?]seconds ,built oil pressure usally around 40psi then cut off then I cranked it.The pick up side was in the drain plug and I could dran the motor with it also.

Strip;

Is yours essentially a fuel pump? What is the black controller box?

KE used to use the Weldon pump. You can get them from Kinsler Inj. but they aren't cheap.

It seems to be an oil pump and electronic control module (ECM) from http://www.pre-luber.com/
The ECM can be connected to the ignition switch, so when you turn on the ignition the oil pump will be started by the ECM for a certain amount of time. Depending on the ECM type post lubrication (after engine shutdown) is also possible.
I have the oil pump from the same company, but I decided against the ECM. I basically installed simple switches to turn on the oil pumps instead, so I can control for how long I want to prelubricate.

You dont need to worry about -12 fittings on a pre-luber. All of my oil lines are -12, but the pre-luber lines are -8. No oil flows through the pre-luber lines when the engine is running. You dont need to worry about flow porblems. The only oil that runs through the -8 lines is oil pumped from the pre-luber. ESP sells an inexpensive check valve to keep the oil where its supposed to be. If you look at the picture I posted, the check valve is the brass thing screwed into the starboard side of my oil filter head.

he had switched to the aeromotive that i pictured. he also made the bracket to have the ability to mount to a flat surface.

No its just made for the oil.its a http://www.pre-luber.com/ kit the black box is a timer ,When ya key on it turns the pump on a few seconds .also when key off its runs for a little while

I was thinking about finding adapters that go from 6 or 8 to 12. those are hard to find. But I now see how you did it. The hose you have up and over the pump, Is that a recirculation hose to prevent priming problems?
