Charger...you mind posting a few pictures of how you mounted & plumbed your crankcase vent? I need to mount one in my rail and using the back of the doghouse may be just the ticket for my application.

Thanks, Toby

I dont have any pics right now but basically i screwed the breather box to the fan shroud on top.Then ran a tube from the oil fill to it,another from the fuel pump block off to the breather,Then on the bottom of the breather i ran another tube into the passenger side valve cover.

I also have my fuel pressure reg mounted right below the breather.I made it so if i remove the motor theres not much to disconnect.Mainly the ign wire,thorttle cable,one fuel line,alt wires thats about it.I can try and take a close up of it tomorrow all the build pics are on disc somewhere.Edit heres a pic i have for now just to give an idea.tube on left side of breather goes into the fuel block off,tube on right goes into filler,and the tube on bottom you cant see but it goes into the valve cover

Your setup is very similar to waht I'm going with...any additional pics would be appreciated.

Where did you end up mounting your electric fuel pump?

The a-arms came from ellobo (pete grandia at a-arm.com) when the dollar pound rate was much better (for us!) than it is now :D

Old school... '70's Funco with a modified roof for increased head clearance. Unfortunately this car was totalled around three years ago near Cougar Buttes in Johnson Valley.

It is a dream to have. Had to cut and reweld the pitman arm but it is a dream to have. Works almost as good as a rack does. But think I did not have to pay for rack. If you like I can trace out the pitman arm for you ?
