Is that a narrow hip? The Viking blue should stand out on a big block! Cheers, Dennis

Frame by Lee Benson
Regular hip rear, S/C style not narrow or wide.
Trying to be accurate in design and style.

Jim

Are you going to plumb the rear end??
And did you open the rear end up….& which connection is the Vent??

1985 CCX 01-21-2024 04:04 PM

Hmmm
Assume plumb is oil circulation. Nope
Vent off cover, will put upwards into the trunk after tin back in.

The vent off of the cover will cause issues….by pumping oil up into the catch can & over heat the diff…

Do a search on. KMS Diff and read about it ….then you’ll understand my question….
