Excellent! Love the oil pan baffle idea. Great work!
Nice build, love the attention to detail. This thing's gonna be hoot!
Hey Tfrasca, I like that remote oil pressure sender. Can you post some details about the hose, the fittings you used, etc.?
I added a Volvo Turbo oil gauge to my 142, but it is a tight fit under the exhaust manifold. Moving it over to the frame rail might be a cool option.
Thanks,
Steve
Hey Steve. I went to the local hose shop with the sender and asked them to make me a 22" stainless high pressure line that would fit a 1/8 NPT hole in the block. They set me up with a brass 1/8 NPT to 4an adapter for the block, the hose that they crimped 4an fittings onto, and another 4an to 1/8 NPT adapter for the sender side. The clamp is a 1.5" ID thing that I had to order because NO ONE stocks that size here in town.
Thanks!
Pre-pump filter. I've read about problems with filters between the tank and the pump. As I understand it, if the filter gets restricted, the pump pulls a vacuum and the fuel evaporates causing vapor lock. The pre-filter only filters out the larger debris?
Makes sense. Don't want big chunks in your pump.
Finnegan from HRM was raving about this:

Fancy-schmancy.
Forgot to mention, it has to be stainless-wrapped hose because it grounds through the threads.
The manifold looks amazing. Can't wait to start mine.
I've done this in the past on other types of cars -- I just soldered a piece of copper wire to the body of the sender and then grounded the wire. An alternative if you don't want to use the wire braid hose.
Really nice work on this build.
