fyi that is a tracter supply belt , 2.99! was only running one belt to begin with.a
also a warm eng will only go about 4 blocks with no water pump belt, before the gauge goes scary, cold engine will go miles, i drove it 5miles to shop cold.
as for grammer i doubt the grammerHYDE will be gone for long

Why would that cap be a restriction? It's the same size as the carb's intake...Granted, the shape probably isn't ideal but it's a neat way to get some colder air to the engine.

yes, he said it was a powersteering pump resivoir from a ford... i realise that... yet i was hoping for something a little more specific... perhaps a year/model?

YEA TIMMY ITS NOT RICE, outa 3 or 4 thousand people who have seen her your the only one to mention or implicate ricedness, i resent that, lol j/k my skins much thicker now , wait to you see whats coming next, BTW, the intake has been checked for restriction at the bonnet, 1.5 ''hg vs 2.8-3'' for stock, removing the filter eliminates the restriction , which leads me to believe i need a better flowing filter, also last week we had a 70 dg day here in kansas, so i took TOTO for a ride in the seven with thermoucoupler in the intake track 6'' from carb and guess what 45deg ! a twenty five degree drop at 35 mph, this morning it was minus 2, the intake air was -16 at idle, and off the scale at -30 + , any time i hit the gas or was moving, i think it works, check out what im brewing up now in the boost post

I like it!! And I see absolutely nothing wrong with color coordinating your engine bay. I picked blue, myself, but each to their own!! Is your whole car yellow??


Hey, what's that alternator off of ??

very nice, dankus. I always look forward to seeing what you've attempted.

Doesn't look ricey at all to me. Looks cool. Too bad the color doesn't match the battery.
