looks like a Factory job as usual

Very nice!

Changed my prop loop, I had a flat bar type that was like a big oval but it looked a bit crappy, So made a bolt in jobbie, It looks heavy but its not as a lot of it is 3/32 plate.

Sweet looking new loop. Also nice find on the window seal. At some point I'll have to address same issues with truck, but way down the road I think!

Just curious, you have one for the Shift Light. What's the Warning Light warn you of?

Low oil pressure Roger

Great work on your new bracket! I admire how you build these pieces and seem to always put a spin on them but make them look like a manufactured piece.

Well very little to do now, just scratching around looking for stuff really, Got an email on monday saying my heads have finally been shipped, with a bit of luck i will have them saturday morning. Was hoping to make the Hotrod drags with a bit of luck.

Treated myself to a couple of Stewart Warner mechanical gauges, Fuel pressure on the left & Boost gauge on the right.

Had to fit a fuel gauge isolater as fuel not allowed inside car in drag rules, the isolator can't be fitted on the firewall as that not allowed either, Mounted it to the firewall tube, plumbed them in with stainless hoses.

Steve is the isolator a type of pressure sending unit?

Hi steve, no not really, you can't have fuel inside the car so the fuel goes as far as the isolator, then the isolator uses a diaphragm to pass the pressure to the other side, then the line from the isolator to the gauge is filled with 50-50 antifreeze/water.
Hope that makes sense ?

Yep, a liquid pressure guage only usuing antifreeze in vehicle to gauge!
