So Friday night left me with this.



A bit of tidying.

[nicklouse]

Some plumbing. Had to strip the pump again.

Found some stainless pipe joiners that will do for the top hose.

My steering rack gaiters had some great clips on the small end but they broke and no one I spoke to at the IMM knew about them.



While looking for some cable wrap (counduit) I found some.



On a side note.

I might start it tomorrow.

Well today was interesting,frustrating and satisfying.

Could not get any oil pressure on cranking. Very odd. As I had primed the pump as well.

Thought I will check the relief valve. Clear. Ok let's take the oil pressure hose of and have a quick crank. Yep spurted all over the rag.

To confuse the issue I could hear oil coming out of the rockers.

Ok back to the old screw in gauge direct to the block. Yes I have pressure. So why was the guage in the car not showing anything?

Disconnect and try blowing down the hose.nada. Compressor. Nada.

Ok what have I changed since last time. A 90 degree connector to the guage. Let's just say all fixed now.

You can see the screw in pressure guage.

Will you not need two throttle cables?

Will you not need two throttle cables?

Nope. Just two springs.

Bolted the front together.



Paint is the diffuser.
