That's the question here Brad,...Where was the second pump located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 There were two different setups. One was the more common dipstick type you see, and the other utilized a pump that looked like a fuel pump mounted near a sump tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRECT!...In the Paxton kit, the oil pump is located inside the oil dipstick!...The 'outside pump' was a 'Granatelli thing' not released (I don't believe) to the general public!

silverstude Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) The outside pump was a tank mounted under the right fender with a 12V fuel pump (yes) moving the oil. I have pics if you want to see one. Interestingly, the Due Cento had oil coolers under the parking lights for each of the superchargers Edited February 7, 2017 by silverstude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstude Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Production Avanti with many of the Granatelli "improvements". These pieces were sold by Granatelli to the owner of this car, but not without a lot of arm twisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
