Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of buying a Canton Road Race oil pan.
They list the correct length pickup for the Melling M155 oil pump, but I have a brand new M55A unit. They do not list the pickup for this pump.
What are the differences between these two pumps? Can I use this pickup for my M55A?

 

The inlet diameter for the M155 is 3/4", if the M55A is the same diameter then it should work. It's not a bad idea to check the clearance between pan and screen nontheless.

 

The M55 is a 5/8" pickup tube diameter. The M155 is a 3/4".

Around 94/95 they switched to the 3/4" pickup. I haven't got a definite changeover date & reports vary. All 95's I have built are 3/4".

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you for the infos!
Do you know if there is a difference in dimensions (like height) between the two pumps?

 

High volume pumps are taller. The pickup you need is for a standard volume with 5/8" tube. Canton part number 20-010.

 

Thanks sssalah, that's what I was looking for! BTW, you've got a nice ss over there in the Bahrain!
