Dumbo The Flying Elephant

Above the oil filter on the block there are two 3/8 NPT plugged holes. Bottom one goes to the filter and crank driven oil pump and the top one is the passage the the oiling system. I use a three gallon viton seal bug spray to pressurize the system the system. The mess occurres when the hose is disconnected and the plug is installed with my left hand.

Melling makes a great oil primer. Larry, no matter on fast you are with the pipe plug, it is always a mess, especially the first time before you realize what happens.

Who owns this car, with the peace sign, mag wheels, and four on the floor?
Charlie Daniels

I spent a better part of a day looking for some body parts that I put up to keep dust off of them. I tore the car apart after Indy and just now putting it back together. Sometimes I forget where I put stuff, just another stupid old man trick. I will not get much done this weekend 'cause it March Madness! Its the best of college sports on TV.

I got a lot done today. If everything goes well we should be smelling smoke latter this week. As y'all can see I till have a lot of cleanup to do on getting the wires looking better. It's a real pain to get the valve cover off on the passenger's side just to check valve lash. Headers have to go on in an assigned order. Believe it or not I can get 10 O2's on the car and only have to install one in the pipe before installing the pipe on engine.

I took a picture of the oil filer base with the two plugs that make a mess when I fumble them. Me and the air inlet almost look eye to eye

Larry, I expect you to get many things done this week since your Favorite college BB team lost Sunday. Perhaps DUMBO will be out soon .?

Indy Pts race end of April. Maybe in FSS/F, it makes the tires think they’re bigger.
