Thanks Julie, I'm going to make a jump wire for the power side and the breakers are 12v two of them from my Harley. Gene at YnZ Yesterdays Parts swears I only need two VD's, so I'm going to give that a try first. It will be easy to put a third if it works out that way.

[/IMG]Here's the radiator from Cool Craft and this is there spec;
4 rows of 1/2" tubes on 3/8" centers with 16 fins (heat transfer points) per inch. Comparable cooling to a 5 row "Standard Automotive" core without changing thickness of the core.
I can't wait to start putting things together.

Thanks and well, headlights, tailights and turns, complete. Most of the dash is done and installed the radio speaker. I'm adapting a computer heatsink to work with the volt drops for the wiper and heater and will post a pic of the heatsink when complete. Oh crap, just looked out the window and it's snowing. Not much I can do under the hood until I remove the frontend. Until then I'm getting the radio prep and finished and then there's the fuel pump. By and By I needed a battery and now I have two coming??? Checkout the Rant thread.

Oil Lines and oil system

I finally came up with a plan for the oil lines sending unit and a Fuel block I couldn't used with my carb and linkage set-up. All the oil lines are seamless SS 3/8 with .035 wall. The fittings are AN type and the fuel block is machined aluminum. The fuel block has 3 outlets along it's length and one at each end. The top outlet is the feed line the center will be the sending unit and the third is blocked off and to top it off a pressure gauge. Thing are slowly coming together, but they are coming together.[/IMG]

Had a good day today, with the help from some friends was able to remove the hood, front clip, exhaust, engine and tranny. Dynamated the firewall and tranny cover. As most of you know there a whole lot more to do, so I'll be at it again tomorrow.
