I installed a cheap ($75) electric oil pump on the rodekyll. It was rated at 8gpm and 6# pressure. It runs, sort of. I can get forward locomotion, but no real ooompah behind the revs. It would be unsuitable even for emergency service. Evidently I can't get enough pressure up to overcome the spinning vanes of the t/c, so it's real reluctant to circulate. If electric, then higher pressure and lots of volume. It could get $$$$pensive fast.
I'm glad this is over. My curiosity has morphed into "I'm getting tired of draining the atf tank." This last time I goosed the throttle, not expecting anything, and ran over the (full) drain pan when the t/c caught a good swig of sauce.
