I got a few things done today. I finished up the fuel lines, I just have to tighten up a few fittings underneath the car and then I can test for leaks.

Also, here is my take on the steam tube issue, Most people drill and tap a place on the water pump, which I never thought was a good idea, if your water pump fails on a trip you can't just change it on the fly. Instead I decided to tap the water outlet and plumb in the fitting there.

Up top under thethrottle body area


This is what I did underneath


It is hardly even visible once everything is all there in the engine compartment. I also went with the pinch clamps because I didnt like the normal options for really small hose like that. The tube is only 3/16"


I also got the fittings sorted and installed for my oil pressure sender. I wound up mounting it behind the intake manifold. I wish Autometer didnt have such a huge sender for the short sweep gauges.

Tomorrow should be filling the engine with oil and cranking to see if I get oil pressure
