    It was oil breakdown. Appears the carb was flooding motor after last late Oct oil change to cause. I did not notice the gradual drop until the 30 mile trip. Then you start watching it like a hawk.
    When I changed oil (20-50 race-no 40 found) presure went back to 40 cold idle and drop to 20 hot.

    firebird77clone--trk already has a remote oil cooler with fan as well as a remote oil cooler with fan for tranny. Part of the '29 AA "tow package". That is needed when I pull the 37' RV 5th wheel (it is 15,000 lbs).

    Thanks again everyone for your help.
