At the moment I could only find -8 fittings available. That and I have about 20 -10 in overstock haha. Also I've found that -8 an doesn't provide enough volume for road racing applications. So we run a minimum of -10 on anything that will see track days.
My engine guy told me I was wasting my time because the port hole in the filter housing outlet was so small that it didn't matter. I figured the extra volume was a benefit anyway. Nice work.
The factory housing ports are almost exactly the same size as a -10 fitting. Anything bigger and I would say its a waste if you don't enlarge the ports. -8 fitting ID -10 fitting ID
If I can save you some grief, please install your oil pressure sender on the end of a flexible an line or just return your electric oil pressure sender from Autometer. I've had two sending units die out. The first one they covered under warranty but the second was past warranty and they are not cheap at $70+ for a replacement. They only last about a year in the OFH. I was told doing research that they need to be "isolated."

Thanks for the info:) I was thinking about that today and since I have good poly mounts I should relocate that unit to a flex line and rubber mount it to the body. Your post has solidified the choice to do that. Haha thanks!
do you have any close ups of how you did the wheel well to attach it there? I have the bumper off already and have just been chickening out because I want it to look really good.

I had to cut the side brackets and move them back to accommodate everything being shifted forward. Then welded back in place. I don't believe I took many pics due to being in a hurry to get the car out of the shop. But I will dig around.
Nice work On the valve cover and bumper! I'm going out side to shave the letters off my valve cover right now. I also would like to see some more pics of the bumper mod.

Well it's been a long day. The T belt stripped at the crank and bent valves galore. Was going about 60 on the hwy and then nothing...... Found a rebuildable used head along with Evo springs,retainers ad exhaust valves. Guess I will be busy this week.
Well it's body and paint time. My only goal for the car right now is to get the main body/chassis painted. I will be able to paint the rest at a later date.
Started stripping all the trim and panels off today.
Finally able to kill the only bad rust on the car.
Thanks guys this is my first time trying to do body work and paint it the right way. "As much as I can with no paint booth" And I do really like the evo wheels on this. Plus they are inexpensive:)
Well spot filled pin holes and block sanded. Also sprayed with another coat of filler/sealer primer. I have hopes of this being the final wet sand before one more coat of sealer. Then onto color!!!
Pulled the doors of and time to clean and scuff the jams for primer.
