Where to put the accumulator in a Challenger?

[Stockcar axeman]

Hello,

I was wondering where everybody puts their oil accumulators in your e-bodies? I am looking to install a 3 qt version in my 73 and looking for options before I order anything up.

Thanks for any help!

I vote for the passenger side inner fender. Pretty much anywhere there is adequate room.

I personally hate how they look in the engine bay. I made some chromoly tubular brackets and mounted mine behind my front bumper using the back side of the radiator bolts to mount it with some hex nuts on the radiator bolts pertruding through the core support.

That looks great! I hadn't thought about putting one down there, it looks right at home in that spot. Is the capped 90' fitting that is coming back through the core support for filling the accumulator? Could I ask what brand/capacity is your setup? Also do you know anything about MasterLube accumulators? I'm looking at them as well as a Moroso setup. Thanks for all your help.

That we one of my first thoughts. It's gonna be tight for everything in the engine compartment. Ha ha

It is a Canton Racing Accumulator. Same as Moroso brand and others. It is a 3 quart. I use it as a primer with the electric solenoid which is what fitting you must be seeing and as an accumulator/accusump with a 15 PSI safety switch.

I like @6PKRTSE 's position better. Do it his way!

I'm curious as to how you chose 15 psi for the safety switch. This is my 1st accumulator and was wondering what psi switch I would need and the thought behind it? Just trying to learn.

Yep, I'm liking it the best so far!
