Exclamation Omp

Hello. I have this idea in my head for a "different" mechanical omp setup,
I need to know how much oil pressure is fed to the opm from the oil galleries in the engine/ front cover.
If you were to remove the OMP, this would be the pressure at the the front cover, here

I tried searching and reading the FSM but no luck.
Thanks in advance
-Pat

The hole on the right is the feed hole. That oil comes off the input shaft.

It fills a cavity in the pump and then the oil dumps directly back into the hole on the left which leads to the pan.

The OMP is a Pump. It takes that oil that fills it's cavity, and pressurizes it and sends the oil up the OMP lines.

Ain't much of any pressure in that cavity imho.
