the organic mechanic cooling and ignition system.

havent done much but I have got the cooling system about 95% done.

I need to have the radiator modified for the heater return, and the two radiator sensors.

????? the top radiator sensor is the level sensor, what is the one on the bottom???

heres the radiator

the radiator is a Bullit racing: chevy style

24x19x2 should be plenty of cooling.

I need some help, what is this vavle or whatever that hooks up to the gastank and the charcoal canister.
just wondering what it is.

im worried about pressure building in my fuel cell, this is connected to the vent fitting on my cell.

That's just the stock venting system. Your fuel cell should have a vent in it

it came with a vent fitting, I moved it so the cell would fit but thats what that thing is hooked up to.

there did look to be a small vent on the cell cap.

are you guys seeing images,

all I see is [img]www.rx7club blah blah blah[img]
no picture.

here on the front side, one mounts to the spare tire well, the other is a long bolt with two bolts holding it in place. little blurry but you get the picture

AFAIK, its just a temperature switch for the stock ECU.
