Mag drive oil jet?

Im curious yesterday in testing my mag drive was pushing oil out of gasket,so my question is what size jets are you all running in your oil line right now i do not have one but im assuming i do?

 

is this a chevy front drive deal? like a pioneer/etc?

 

Yes it sure is..

 

I've never used the oil line feed tube. We've had the Pioneer drive for about 8 yrs.

 

So you just blocked it off?

 

Guess i should have posted more info:msd 20 mag,mag has groves cut so oil will get to gear freely,but it fills tube up at start up then starts pushing oil out of distributor gasket heavely..

 

sorry was gone for the day... cut the 'collars' on the mag shaft housing to allow the oil to flow down. i cut about a 1/4" 'notch' cut in each one on mine. and i think mine has about a 50 or 60 holley carb jet in it. i had the same issue when i first installed mine

 

Mag drive

Ran my pioneer drive dry. put a plug in the housing. When I assem. it, I just used a really good high pressure lube. Unless you are driving it around, don't worry. I never had a problem. One less oil leak to worry about Don

 

yep, just a pipe plug in the housing

 

The installation instructions for the Pioneer say to cut a couple slots in those lugs and the mag base or candlestick.

 

I have the Summer Bros drive and a mallory drive with the dunn coupler to the 44

the Summers housing didn't come with a oil feed line / hole

should I insert one, cut the notch in the leg of the mallory to allow the oil to flow back to the gear? and then back into the timing cover.

I can't remenmber if the mallory leg has an oil hole between the two "O"rings to allow the shaft to oil.
