455 olds dont like high rpms for long spirts oil dosnt get back to pan as fast as it should and can starve pump causing mains to fry

I have a duel carb tunnel 250. but any how are you running electric pump or manuel
some guys install a electric pump just to prime

its not electric. i thought it was but yesterday went to start and it wouldnt turn over so i had to put some gas down the carb to get it going. its also got a choke but no hook up for a cable
