Tell me true - how much was the fancy dancy leaky sumpy pumpy?

Maybe if the stock pump didn't have sumping issues and scavenged better at high rpm...It left 8oz all the time. The 3 stage clearly scavenges better by scavenging both sides.
And apparently the wavy washer doesn't work all that well as plenty have the oil leak down with the stock pump as well. Which is why I questioned it in the first place. Maybe you should worry more about figuring out the shortfalls of the oem stuff, not the aftermarket. We wouldn't have to look to the aftermarket then.
I'll pinch the line off before I put the stock pump back in. TYVM

​​​​As for NGKs, maybe you should've stated SOME plugs can cause issues with Delhi's ion sense because NGKs clearly do not. A Delphi engineer also clearly stated there's nothing special about the stock champions at all and their system is designed to work with plugs of a wide degree of resistance variation. Sorry that pisses you off but I'm not the one that said it! In either case!
Always a pleasure Ed. You be good now...

Just bump it and let it return to the tank. I'd be more concerned I'd forget to open the shut-off.

a manual valve is just plain stupid and the hose pinchers will lead to a destroyed hose.
IF you are serious, then go electrical with safety inter-lock.
get a NC electrical solenoid valve with a contact block. at static, the valve is shut, add a startup momentary switch or a timer electrical relay that stays on a few seconds when activated, wire the ignition power to the solenoid block. when you push the momentary switch, the ignition will become hot and open the valve, when the solenoid is open it will connect ignition through its block and maintain power. if you kill the ignition the valve shuts and kills the power to the ignition via its contact block. make sure you get a 100% duty valve. if you get the right valve with a pressure option, loss of oil pressure will kill the ignition also.
many valves to pick from, we used such system on industrial applications.
