Default O-360-A1A Oil Sump
Does Superior make an updraft sump for the O-360-A1A ? I want better air distribution, but everything I can find is for horizontal induction. I don't need cold air, just better air distribution.

Default May be worth a try...?
Remembered this from a while back. Seems to work for some...not so much for others.

Yes, I have one, and it does help at a very narrow (and somewhat low) throttle setting. At higher throttle settings it causes me to run lean on cylinders 3 and 4. If I cant find a different sump then I am going to try to find a good fabricator who can make me new induction pipes.
