Super job Ron. I know you have put a lot of effort into this project.

The big thing on this car right now for endurance reliability purposes seems to me to be the oil temp. 280 is too hot. Hopefully the new mount (Jeff G. and Ron busted hump on that) will work.
If its still plumbed like this then this is why it was chucking coolant out...
I read the oil temp on the outlet side of my oil coolers whenever possible. This tells me the temperature of the oil I'm feeding the bearings. 280 read there would be about max for a synthetic oil. I would rather see it no higher than 250.

Could you elaborate on this diagram. This is similar to my set-up, except the remote overflow is about an inch higher. Could you explain "coolant is taking the easy way out"?.
Thanks
Ron,
You have the saame unit as mine. You should have two screw adjusters. One is for the adjustment of where full is the other is for the low level lite. There should be three wires to atach also. The positive, negative, and the sender wire. I'm at work right now, but when I get home I will give you the particulars for setting them.
