Ooh, I almost forgot to tell yawl. I tried to back it out of my shop to drain the coolant with the front driveshaft removed. It wouldn't budge.

Just so you know.

Does anybody want a slightly used 4 mth old heater hose w/plastic y fitting? I bought it and installed it but have since replaced it with the unit that has the metal y fitting. I paid $40 @ my NAPA, pt# NBH 9187. Make me an offer. Shipping USPS will be an additional $10, or if your local to Bulverde, TX, come pick it up. Also, FREE for local pickup only, my old working water pump.

Team reportedly beats 'Cannonball Run' coast-to-coast record on empty highways

A team of drivers reportedly set a new coast-to-coast "Cannonball Run" record by taking advantage of the empty highways brought about by the coronavirus outbreak.

Road & Track reported the team of three or four drivers in an Audi A8 started at the Red Ball Garage in New York City at 11:15 p.m. on April 4, and finished less than 27 hours later at the Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach, California.

Oil cooler looks fine there to me. Them's be temp sensors for the ambient temp displayed in the mirror. I forget why there's two. Maybe it has to do with the auto climate control system?

OK that's where the cooler is going. The remote bypass filter is going right back where it's been, and the 1 gal oil tank a little inboard of it.

Under-hood social distancing went away after the carburetor went away.

after the carburetor went away.

??????? I didn't get that message, but then again I still use a flip ph. My 9.9L W/2 carbs = 1180 hp, all motor.

I'm using #6 AN fittings and hose, except on the cooler 3/8", to plumb it.

I have decided to change the flow sequence. Out of the engine, cooler, tank, bypass filter, back to the engine.

HAPPY EASTER
