Re: [omc-boats] 66 Caprice

As I recall, it is toward the front of the engine - it it's there, you
will know it - there are four black plastic tubes running from the pump
to each cylinder. The pump has a very low capacity and only puts a drop
of oil in with each revolution of the engine. There will also be a
larger rubber line running to the oil storage tank. In addition there is
an ignition cut off on the oil tank with wires to the engine - if the
oil gets too low it will stop the engine. Dave
