Hi, can't find any instructions on my Moroso 20502 oil pan (front sump 7qt) what level the oil reading should be on. If I "only" fill until the square part of the oil pan is full then i'm guaranteed to be below any moving parts with the level atleast, and could still get a reading from dipstick...

Hi again, trying to install the last sensors on the engine for the EFI. One that I haven't been able to get any good information on yet is where I should place the knock sensor. I found several threads that warned about placing two (one for each bank), but none that actually talked about the...

I want to ask for tips how to make strong bonds in "blind" areas of the body? Need to screw the side and rear windows, but since the frame for it is unreachable from the backside i can't use my regular technique where i bond in a holed metal plate with a nut in it. So, how to make decent strong...

Going to route the vent line soon from radiator all the way back to the header tank. I read that 3/16 hose is appropriate, while others say 3/16 pipe. The difference is quite big, since the pipes inner diameter is only 1/8. Will the smaller ID pipe be sufficient for the needs? Cause it would...

Hi, i didn't get a rear window when ordering the front laminated glass. Starting to regret that now, but want to know what other builders did. The surface that needs to be covered is not far from flat when i but a ruler on, but it does have a soft bend in it. Would it be feasible to mount a...

Looking to save some money on the stud girdle for my SBF302 block. Tried finding a file myself, but to no luck. Does anyone here sit on a file to be able to cut out my own girdle in 1/2" mild steel?

Hi, I might have a problem on hand here, i asked smith how to drive their GT40 spec tacho gauge, and the answer seems to be that MSD 5520 make to large of a signal voltage and it just swamps the gauge and it drops down to zero instead. Since this seems to be a theoretical problem so far (since i...

I bought an std aircon kit from carbuilder.com. But the wiring, is it actually as described on the homepage? https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/trinary-switch-for-air-con Because the industry standard seems to be that the blue wires switches the compressor on, and not the condensor fans... Can...

Hi, i am at the stage where i have started the paneling of the chassis. What are the experience from the people out there that have finished builds, does deadening the cockpit do any good, or is it wasted weight since the engine will be so loud anyway? Will coat the wheelarches with rubber on...
