If it’s the standard RCR setup it uses a Walbro low pressure pump to feed the swirl pot and a Bosch 044 high pressure pump to feed the rails. That photo shows the Bosch pump.

Sadly on the long list of projects that aren’t getting much attention ... Scott Swartz has some great renders that I’m planning to use for inspiration. Just need to find the time.

Looks great Dan - epoxy floors? I’m in the process of working on my garage as well - well, I’m paying a pro to do the heavy lifting this time around. Poor guy’s been mudding the last 2 days and still has at least 1 more to go before he can texture.

I'll second what Allan said; I had originally installed it the other way around and when I brought the car down to get my initial charge the guys saw the same thing and recommended I flip the condenser - I did.

I'll confess - many of my fasteners were tightened to the "gootentite" spec. There were only a few fasteners where I used an actual torque (lug nuts, axle nuts, half shafts come to mind). Almost all my joints were dry in combination with nylocs; the overall torque changes as the nyloc has been...

Tie rod should be secured to the underside of that adapter, as you have it now and consistent with Johan’s, you would have had terrible bumpsteer in the on-top position. Rough rule of thumb once you have your ride height selected is get the tie rods so they are angled somewhere between the...

- Drop gears - An F ton of heat and noise blockers throughout the cabin (I don’t see enough builders going over the top on this subject) - HCF clutch package if you’re making big power - other upgrades as well but they start to really deviate from “option” to “custom”.

Ask away - shoot me a PM or DM and I'll send you my number. Always helps to have a phone-a-friend when you've been up too long and you're about to go out of your mind trying to figure something out.

Kyle - CF10s are the best option, but I'm biased ;) I second the recommendation that you get a set of cheap, used, take-off, whatever tires and not anything nice. Not only will they be drying out while you're building the car, but you're going to be doing a lot of bodywork with them on or...

I'd have Fran install a set of fiberglass side skirts - then once you get the car remove them, mod them with the fins as you'd like, paint, and re-install them. Everything's somewhat custom so giving you a dimension now so you can fab a set without having the car next to you would likely give...

Looks good! Put a breaker bar across your studs and try to turn your hubs while the parking brake is on. If you can budge it there definitely won’t be enough clamping force. Good luck!

I’m using a device to convert the fuel sender signal to a 0-5V signal for my Aim dash system. When I calibrated my tank level I added fuel at 1gal and recorded the sensor’s output. Between 0-1.9gal I measured no change in signal from the sensor - so I believe you already have that 2 gal...

I wouldn’t sweat that blockage, it’s very rare that I move my blower past the low setting. It’s getting plenty of airflow and isn’t stalling out the fan. Texas heat may be a little different but this was true even when ambient temps were in the 90s. Seal your cabin really well and get as much...

I made my own version of the string frame from Tenhulzen: https://www.wheelalignmenttools.com/product/4-wheel-alignment-system/

Safe travels Mark! We’re about to make a similar journey, going from San Diego to Denver. I’ll be taking the southern route to avoid going through the taller part of the Rockies.

Copy/pasting this from Mason’s build thread ... IIRC the LS motors require some amount of fluid flow between the out/in ports for the heater core (and is why everyone runs the Chevs of the 40s valve) in order for the thermostat to function correctly. I did a deep dive into this while I was...

Woo! Looks beautiful Johan! Sometimes I regret having such a basic motor but then I remind myself I’m not a hero racer and I’m only using half of what my motor actually makes. Still, that’s a beautiful engine, great work! My new location will have a “winter” that will require me to hibernate...

Check out the AC bulkhead fittings Dan used in his build, nice and low profile which is important for tucking in away from the body and it intruding into your foot box. Your front brake line may need to have a secondary retention added to avoid it getting sucked into your tire while...

Nice, looks great! Adding an interior light is on my to-do, I wish I’d done the legwork to find an acceptable dome light before I closed the ceiling panel up. I’m surprised the larger unit fits in the binnacle so well, that’s awesome! I’d have done the larger screen if I knew it would have...
