Cracker: yep, that's what happened> Pressure dropped to 32 and held. Stopped and checked everything: No leaks etc. Hot day and running muti vis.

Started up Sunday night and had my full 40lbs at idle: Think the heat had thinned out the oil.

Will go to single vis: 30/40/

I BLEW an engine when I firdt got the car cause I lost all oil pressure and was not watching and kept drving (good I was not flying a plane). 3 months and many dollars later I was back on the road So I watch the op like a hawk now. If it had gone much lower, would have called for a tow.

The car had been down for 0 weeks and Sunday was it's first drive since getting it running again. Was a good shake down trip but didn't want to take any chances.

Went back to the Bill Elliott Museum and then home. All well

I'll be there next time. We USED to meet monthly, butlots of those guys are hung up with other projects (work, new jobs)..keep me posted. Chip
