Yeah block drains on both sides with Allen head, I think 1/4" x3/8" plug.
These are good to remove when doing a coolant change. Sometime they are plugged with crap and won't drain until you push a screw driver in the bottom wiggle it around that will loosen it then drains.

Damn hard to R&R them with header pipes in the way tho.

Hey Hio, where did you end up setting your Wilwood proportioning valve...how many turns and from what direction? Mine will prolly be a bit different but I'd just like to get a good starting point. Thanks!

I set it mid-way, then two turns in so the bias is towards the front. Seems to work fine... haven't done the lock-up tests yet.

Manually-adjustable proportioning valve ***** work just the opposite of say ....your garden hose faucet. They work like the regulator on an air compressor, except that an air compressor regulator can completely cut off flow through it. A M-A proportioning valve can't be set to totally cut off pressure to the rear brakes.

Turning the **** inward (clock-wise) increases the pressure setting.

Turning the **** outward (counter clock-wise) decreases the pressure setting [least pressure to the brakes --which equals a total of a 57% restriction with the **** all the way out].

Yuuuup HELLO NEIGHBOR! ... I'm up here in the Diablo Valley and yes, Good Guys Pleasanton.

As usual, the first Pleasanton show show conflicts with my NASCAR weekend in Fontana (March 19 and 20). I do make the June, August, and November events though.

Hmmm.. flareside Bump? Don't recall it. Is the March event the only time you show it?

Well that's odd.. I've never come across your rig.

Say, what donated the hood scoop?

Now THAT is WAY Cool Hio. Congrats Buddy. I think that is a really good way to scratch that itch you've had for a while. 3 cheers for HIO!
