so back to the Orange, we poked around and looked over the various oil gally plugs they have run and failed in the past and I was able to determine it was an AN o-ring fiting and not a thought to be NPT.

I happen to have a -4 union but no plug, so I chopped one side off and welded the hole shut. rolled on an o-ring and installed it. Good fit. Tried it and it held up. So its off to Thunderhill.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

thanks, oh the classics...
I don't think he got any track time due to what time he got up there but knowing him it didn't stay in the trailer... I guess he did great for a parade car.
No details yet. If he is feeling anything like I do he is asleep under his supervisor desk.

Here are a few pictures of the cell box and mounting cage.

Thanks Ron,

He will be going in for a cage revision soon and we'll get some down bars to tie into.

BTW, I wish I had gone with 38" canister hoses.
