- K&N was extremely helpful is matching up a current
in stock part number to an older custom made filter back
from the 1980's. Though the new filter is round it easily
fits within the oval Autocraft filter housing. The part
# of this filter is: E-2560.

Installed
K&N Filter. As a reminder the Autocraft decal pictured
in the photo is For Sale. (Click

Here
is a very quality built fuel cut off valve built by Peterson
Fluid Systems. (www.petersonfluidsys.com)
We designed and built the bracket in the photo to make this
valve easily removable, protect the valve & fittings,
to mount securely and to have a very nice appearance. (Click
on photo see both sides).
|
Here
is the valve mounted. What is not pictured here is that
another tiny shut off valve has been placed between the
tank and this main valve (left side) so that both can be
shut and separated thus easily draining the fuel both from
the tank as well as the car.

- Here I am assembling one of many, many, many quality Earl's
hose ends, (Pro Tubing & Swivel Hose Ends used). Plumbing
the car took approx. 4 full days. Minimal properly sized
hose used along with all the proper angled ends results
in a great looking and great performing system.

Engine is now complete and in the car!

- Complete engine overhaul and installation is now complete.

to view a
extensive "Photo Gallery" of the rebuild.
The engine is scheduled to come alive for the first time
since the rebuild at Bridgeport
Speedway's
"Big Show III" August 5, 2003, (if the rain holds
out).
The
car will not be competing, (sorry to say), but in turn will
be started on the "dirt" in the pits under controlled
conditions to closely monitor the motor.

Original
master cylinder was unable to be rebuilt. A new one was
purchased from Speedway
Motors.

Honestly
Not Staged. This is a single days worth of items dropped off
at "Watson Racing's Receiving Department" (ha ha)
during the mad rush to get this project done so that the car
can run at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing's 2003 Convention
