Firecore needs to sell looms with their logo...

Looks great!  Is that a oil/air separator between the valve cover and the vac pump? How well does it work?

Very nice engine !
Is your oil separator working ? Is your suction tube location good ?

Hey Jim..
Yes it is a reservoir in between the puke tank. It has a tube in the center that goes to about an inch from the top. This way. if I get oil from the pump it will have to fill the reservoir tank first. 
Made one run with it on and no oil. Then the car wrecked the next pass.. 
Wayne..
The radiator fill was done by Mike Lupfer in Denver Co. It has really worked well for me. It works as an expansion tank as well as a fill tank. It also eliminates air bubbles from these high speed electric pumps.. 
Al..
Brian Smith just finished the front clip, so now I just have to get the car to him for install.. 
He will probably do my Wheelie Bars too.. 
It's been 19 months now.. Hopefully we'll be back at it soon.
I'll have pics of my new wheels and tires soon.
Centerline Qualifier wheels and M/T Slicks.. 
P.S. RICH.. There's no snow in Phoenix Arizona..
Chris..

Chris i was wondering what kind of front runners you have...they look fairly low profile. 
David..
Fronts in that pic are Goodyear 5.0" x 23.0"..
My new M/T's are 4.5" x 24.0" Which actually measure 23.33".. They are 74.25 roll out.
Remember what it looked like 19 months ago..
Chris..

Just thought Rich might want to see them..
New B1 Valve Covers look fairly nice too..
The front clip is finished and will be installed in the next week or two.. 
Chris..
Just looking at your pics it looks like your upper control arms are on the wrong sides. This happend to diegoteds duster so I had to swap them. The way you can tell is the severe missalignment of the upper ball joint, when their on correctly they are much more in line with the spindle.
