O.K. I'm making progress on my conversion and I'm ready to start installing the oil tank. I have the DW Design aluminum tank and I've cut out the inner fender to accommodate the tank but haven't mounted it yet. I have a few questions on the oil line routing. The forward oil line ( the one under the relay board ) I think I have to cut a hole in the sheet metal to route the line to the engine or thermostat is that right? Has anyone ever used the hole for the engine tray drain lines? I know this is not as direct as a forward hole but it's already drilled and I'm not running a engine tray so the hole isn't being used. And the bottom line from the tank can I see some pics of the routing and possibly the installation of a " tee " for draining the tank? Actually any pics of either oil line would be a great help. I do plan on running a front oil cooler so I will be useing a firewall mounted thermostat, so any pics of that would help also. Thanks guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ok, in this picture, you can see the blue return line going through the engine shelf and into the bottom of the tank. My car ('70 /4) already had the large hole for the oil line in the engine shelf, no cutting required.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) This pic where you have the blue line going thru " an existing hole " is not there on my car as it looks like it was a weld repair in that area. So I guess I'll drill about a 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 hole to allow some rubber channel to be applied for chaffing protection. I plan on running a Mocal thermostat and I hope to run the lines in each rocker under the covers. One supply up one side and one return in the other. Andy how do you like the blue "socketless" oil line vs. conventional ss braided hose and fittings? You must have used it for a reason? |

Andy how do you like the blue "socketless" oil line vs. conventional ss braided hose and fittings? You must have used it for a reason? More flexible and much easier to work with. Easier to cut to length and easier to attach to the fittings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Andy |
