Ownership Log – ERA#2124

[Fullchat289]

Took delivery of the webers last Tuesday and did a bit of a trial fitting such that I could finalize my plans to modify the water neck / fuel log to provide a coolant bypass suction port. I’ll update the modifications a little later once I’ve received the finished pieces, but to describe it a bit, I’ll be blocking off the top bypass port on the Water Pump, and modifying the lower port to accept a fabricated “T” which will allow coolant to be pulled from the Harrison Tank as well as pull coolant from the water neck / fuel log. All the fab work will be in the same style as the water neck is currently, so aside from being a bit different from your run-of-the mill unit, the added functionality will look the part and be very “tidy” in appearance.

So now on to a few photos I snapped during the trial fitting. Jim Inglese does a fantastic job!:












Next up is placing an order for some hardline to AN fittings so I can finish up the fuel shut-off valve on the fuel supply line to the mechanical pump. I’ll also be ordering some Intake Manifold gaskets and moving on to the final fitting/securing of the weber intake while I wait for the water neck to be completed at the fabricators.
