Life is good

Uncorked the 7 today and damn, she runs like a raped ape! Cat was plugged so i cut it off and hollowed it out. Shop charging me $40 to weld it back together. Rotories sound damn sweet with open header but my ears felt like they had cotton in them for the last hour or so!! Still having problems with oil pressure though. I changed the oil and filter today and checked all fluids, yet the guage still only registers 20 lbs then drops to 0. The oil cooler (in front of radiator) is leaking at the hose connection of the drivers side. But not bad, just like a drop a day, or enough to collect dirt. Could this be the cause? It just started doing this. Should i put a manual gauge on it and if so where do i put it? Other than that she's slowly coming back to life! Oh yeah, the gasket from the header connection was shot to ****, will one from oriellys work or do i need to special order one for rotories? Thanks, life is good so far.

Pull the sending unit and clean it, check the wires and connections and make sure the condensor is hooked up. If you want an aftermarket gauge, you can cut the mushroom head off of the stock gauge and tap the stalk of it for the sender that comes with the new gauge. If you want to keep the stock one and add an extra one, tap the banjo bolt for the oil line at the bottom of the rear iron.

Order a new exhaust gasket from VB, now Blackdragonauto.com
