I'll post more pics as it comes together, but yes you're right the Marvel Oiler on the left and a Fram bypass filter on the right.

Not painted, aged original surface. The motor had a few miles on a rebuild, which is what Judsons are intended for.

The Blue Screamer helped me eliminate the vacuum line Smile

Gotta love vintage speed Very Happy

I have a Judson in my '57, I also have a remote oil filter like yours but cannot find anyone who makes/sells the hydraulic lines. Where did you get yours?

Steph (Mr. WOB), Al (OMT) or Thomas are all doing a great job making these lines.... so you shouldn't have any trouble getting them made up.

I just thought I made a find on a boost cauge on a different forum but the seller didn't want to part it out from a Judson set.

So I envy you a lot Very Happy

I know that this is one of his gauges Wink

But thank you for his new e-mail address!
