Hi Mate,
i see you have an external oil pick up, have you got any pics of the hose fitted up to the oil pump yet im just curious as it looks like it could be a bit longer than normal ones ive seen ?. have you run that oil setup before im just interested to know if it takes any longer to pick the oil up after sitting for a while?.

Cheers hayden

G/day Hayden some pics of the oil pick up,its all a brand new system,so i do not how it will perform as far as bleed back over a period of time,im sure it will work very well in other areas of operation, the gentleman that put it together does a lot of these for the group nc guys.

hope this helps.

Wayne

Its all a fairly basic set up mainly just to get the car up and running,get it through rego and see what we have,re placed the rear brakes,this was originally a drum brake car,changed diff ratio whilst i was at it 3.08 out 3.55 in,playing with carby linkages at the moment.

Its getting there slowly.
