I've got a '75 TA 400 I bought new.

I've got some oil issues on hard cornering at the track. In my last outing, i tripped the oil pressure light which I added and is set to 10psi

I'm running 17inch Z rated rubber, which may have something to do with it

I running IJ crank scrapers, a 3/4 windage tray, and a Canton shallow road race pan. I'm running a quart over full. No accusump.

I've been doing a lot of internet "research" and I think not a lot of thought has gone into the design of the canton pan. The shallow canton could have been an inch and a quarter deeper without any ground clearance issues. The orientation of the baffles allows the contents behind the baffles to drain on hard cornering and especially on braking. The supplied pickup is a half inch off the bottom, rather than a more optimal quarter inch.

I've been doing a lot of thought experiments and I've designed my own pan. I'm going to use 'diamond' shaped baffling like in some of the more modern designs on the web. I'll base it on either the stock or the canton pan, deepened one inch.
