The dash and the engine
Re: The dash and the engine
OK now that I have stopped druling I can think. Wow what a great look. nice clean engine campartment. Is the engine a rebuilt or did you buy it new? and who did the dash work for you. new to the site so maybe everyone already knows the answers to these questions sorry.
Re: The dash and the engine
The braided Hoses are from a local dealer, the radiator is from Ricambi Auto and the fan is stock from a local dealer, 14 inches, some modifications were necessary to get it to fit.
Adjustable Cooling Fan Controller is similar to the one that Allison's Automotive has.
Yes it is a Weber 34 ADF, and for the crankcase breather I just use a filter on the end of the hose (see picture). I am about to make a catch tank. No glove box
The engine is rebuilt.
The fuel filter is old school filter. Filter King Competition. Popular classical racing the last 30 years

Very nice, I got one of those filter kings too, mine has the glass bowl.
Question: Why are there two hose clamps on every connection? Probably more harm to the hoses if you are clamping over the ridge/barb, that its worth for the extra piece of mind.

Where did you guys get the oil filters and what advantage do they give?

Re: The dash and the engine
Very nice, what should one expect to pay for one of those fuel filters and any info on the alum. flywheel? does that give you quicker revs? your car shows your a gearhead..
