I have talked about this in my previous thread about oil viscosity but figured I would put this one in more aptly named. I had given up on trying to increase my oil pressure at idle once I had ended up with about 15-17 psi hot but a new development got me thinking more about it. My car is a dry sump motor with distributorless ignition so of course I thought I needed no distributor because it would do nothing but fill a hole. Instead of putting one in I opted to make a plug out of aluminum on the lathe effectively sealing the hole. In the process of changing my injection to sequential I built a trigger unit out of a duraspark distributor. I noticed (and confirmed later)it looks like the bottom of the distributor registers in a bearing hole in the block. I am guessing there is some sort of oil feed to this bearing and if so would that not cause a bit of a pressure drop if the distributor is not there to offer resistance? I am not too familiar with that area so I hope someone with more ford experience can answer that.
Thanks
