Ill give you a call later, totally forgot

I do have one but it had IAC on it. I was able to get it to idle. did need some fine tuning (more than my skills allow) but would still fire right up and idle at 900 rpm. Was controlled with Holley HP ECU that had a bunch of idle stabilization controls however.

means all the base tunes came from the same spot.had you gotten a base tune from me,,you'd never would have had that problem,,I turn most of the safeties off.
you'd have loved the 1 problem I used to have.run fine,run fast,jump a wave and come off plane,,motor would die,,no spark,,change module out,,fire back up.took alot of modules and looking at the tune to find it..seems some one gave me a base tune that came from TC w/ the dwell tables cranked up.more than double.changed the table to something more normal and never a problem again.
nothing better than laying on the engines in an already azz heavy boat playing w/ 5.5mm screws all the while the boat is rocking.got really efficient at changing them.

What do you set your dwell at, i found a few years ago when dynoing my pontiac w mefi 4 that motor would pull 5800 w stock module then break up, it would pull 6000 w dui module then break up, started lowering dwell to take load off module and it turned 7000 rpms no problem. Mefi4 has a better dwell table if i remember right too. I turn all safetys off most time too, i just missed the high ect causes rpm reduction, thanks, Smitty

I'd have to look but its down around stockish levels now,I also have a rotor that has fan blades on the bottom,,guess merc knew that had heating issues w/ the module at sustained rpm.

I dont have it in front of me but it seems like a mefi3 from stock tune has 10.5 in each dwell box top to bottom, a 502rj tune goes from 12 at idle to like 3.8 but table is set up a little different too, i took that down to 1.8 or 2.2 to get it to rev 7000 and not over heat module if i remember right

More info, back to POS Canton oil pan, hate it, pos junk. I mentioned previously it was real touchy, canton 10 qt 364 power pan. First got motor running with it a month or two ago, oil press twitched from 80 down to between 35 to 50 and back above 6000 to 6600, that put a little metal in filter from scuffing the bearings slightly. Pulled AFR heads off at that point, opened up drain back holes, was better but still twitched down around 60 to 70 and back. When had intake off swapping it carefully punched holes in valley screens, yes, i have ran them in many engines and never caused a problem. After that oil pressure twitched to 72- 75 from 80 above 6200. Canton told me on phone pan uses 9 qts of oil plus filter, running 2 qt filter. Added a extra quart and a half, oil pressure pretty steady at wot, when your running a 10 quart pan it shouldn't be sucking air the minute its a 1/2 a quart low or not exactly full. Fast forward, changed oil the other day on dyno, put 2 quarts in for filter, 9 in pan just to see if it was my imagination, first pull problem was back added 1 more quart of oil, goes away, sure, it should be full but again, when you have a large pan you should have a little safety cushion from extra capacity. I ran a hardin 14 qt on this before with 12 quarts in pan, never did anything funny, i think trap doors and pouches are keeping oil away from pickup, its NOT going in my boat THIS way, maybe gut them out and just add dismond lovered windage trays, ive yet to find someone running these.

I had good luck w/ the milodon windage tray.screen version.

Sounds like a trap door issue. Trap doors essentially make two or more (depending on # of doors) sumps when closed and if they come close to almost sealing. I wonder if the engine being stationary and relatively level (as being on dyno) is keeping doors from opening, and thus the sump the oil pump see's is a whole lot smaller than it would see without the doors or different designed doors.

You having to add that much oil makes me wonder about this.

Interesting.
