Mechanical Oiling System
I noticed in an article about Gordon Monsen's car (SCC April 2002) that he has a mechanical oiler. Can someone tell me what that is, why is it needed, where can I get one and how much does it cost?

I guess no one else is using an after market oiling system. I wonder why? Many people use fuel oils and perhaps that is good enough but it would seem that a mechanical oiling system would be better because it would give more consistent oiling.

He probably just converted to the 86-88 style mechanical OMP and has the kit to run it off a seperate oil supply so he can use non-ashing 2 stroke oil.
I bought a new mechanical OMP when I Halteched my hybrid engine in my '87 TII.
I used a SS Lokar throttle cable off of a lever added to the 2ndary throttle plates shaft on the 3rd gen UIM that follows the curve of the intake manifolds and down to the OMP lever. I placed several holes along the levers length so I could adjust the ratio of oil injected/throttle position. I retained the feature of injecting engine oil- as it is idiot proof .
