Re: Solving the Oil Pump Problem - Packard V8

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I thot of using a drill motor but i need at least 1700 rpm to simulate at least 3400 rpm engine speed and most drill motors i've seen do not turn that fast. Not sure what i need to do.

Owen, give the picture in my above post time to load. Take a close look at it. It's not an engine at all, not even a complete block. It's just block that has been cut across the center of the rear cylinders. So it is a test bed, not a priming exercise.

Jack, the set up is strictly for testing oil pumps, transmission mock up, or any other modeling purposes. Lot easier to carry the rear 1/4 of the block around with me than an entire block.

I'll just go ahead and mount the 1725 rpm motor to it and test at that rpm speed with a dual pulley i have for the electric drive motor until i can come up with something else. I'll try to dig up a universal motor as per HH56's recommendation.
