Default Re: Speedway's hi volume oil pump

I did a "home rebuild" on a 59A and put it back together with new rings, cam bearings, SS valves, timing gear using, adjustable lifters, everything to make it a good, dependable engine. It runs great, but once warm, it is showing the characteristically low, idle oil pressure. It holds the prescribed 10% of rpm o.p. I need to find it a new home and we all know how non-experienced types are alarmed when they see low oil pressure on a flathead. So, that is why I am thinking that a hi-volume pump might be the ticket for this engine. When and if I sell it, there will be complete disclosure of the work and parts involved so I am not trying to pull a fast one here. I was going to run this engine myself but then I stumbled on another with a Merc crank.
