Engine in the works (below)
Getting a new engine ready. Note location of temperature sender. How am I going to add oil?
Fuel pressure gauge.
This gauge is reading fuel pressure. Actual pressure is around thirty six psi so the needle points straight down.  Here I teed into the fuel line, then used a small cut-off valve to better modulate fuel pulses. (below)
Replaced Breather Tower (below).
Eliminating the oil filler leaves you with no way to add oil to the engine. I replaced the breather tower with an Empi part for air cooled VW. At first I was worried oil consumption might increased by losing the oil seperator function. Instead I think it has actualy decreased. The 1/2" copper tube is used for venting the block to the intake.
