What are the chances of having another set of the condensor brackets made? I have an extra 1" bore wilwood master I would trade for a set. Its new I just went with a black one in 7/8 instead. I would also gladly purchase a set if possible.

Todd---in regards to the upper bars (on G-Bar setup) did you get rid of the both the bushings (front and rear) and convert to rod ends/heim joints, or did you keep one side as is and covert the other?

I have pics of your lowers and know you kept the poly front bushing on it and converted the rear of the bar.

Thanks bro.

Doug

I converted both. I felt that they would take most of the punishment on the race track.

Nothing to exciting. I'm just getting as ready as possible for my new engine. I managed to order 2 fittings the wrong size from vintage air or I'd have the unit in the dash and done... I did start crimping some lines. I've been spending some time at the nursing home trying to keep this old guys spirit up. He just happened to have a crimper he borrowed me. Thanks Greg!



I cleaned all my accessories and they are ready to go back on. I also brushed my puke tank and coolant resorvoir. I sealed them with metal sealer. They are supposed to sit a day or two before wiping it off. I'll be running 2 puke tanks so I'll have to go through the whole process on the new one to match it. I had them both polished up and looking pretty. Wasn't feeling it.


I pulled apart my accumulator to clean out all the old oil and possible debris even though it's after the oil filter. What a bitch getting that thing apart. I got all the oil out of it with some brake cleaner and then headed for the kitchen to was everything with soap and hot water. I got caught in the act and she didn't say a word. Anytime I deal with internals, I like to use paper towels. It's clean as a whistle and back together. I thought some of you might be interested in the inner working of an accumulator. Super simple piece that most engine builders swear by.

Nice crimper!

Have a glass of vegetable juice before using it - makes it work better!
