Modified Lower Radiator Hose
Here is the modified lower hose to keep the surge tank on the LOW pressure side (water pump inlet) of the system. Not the most elegant but very functional. I found a glass filled nylon "T" taht is 1.75" and has a 1.0" fill line for the surge tank.

Notice the 5/8 hose barb on the upper right. That was being fed from surge tank. I will plug it and now go to outlet to water pump instead.

Auto Tranny vaccum origin
I put the auto tranny vacuum hose on this 1/8" vacuum outlet because it matches the modulator intake at the tranny - both are 1/8" size. Larger vacuum at the back of the carb I used for the brakes alone.

Canton oil thermostat
ERA 289 FIA with Canton oil thermostat. This is the drivers side hose run to the cooler.
Off-set the Canton thermostat cooler line outlets by taking it apart and rotating the segments. The segments can "clocked" in 90 degree increments, so the oil cooler hoses can exit on opposing sides. Made plumbing a lot easier in this installation. Fewer angles in the swivel fittings helps avoid any restriction on oil pressure.

Kirkham Alternator Bracket on a B and B
Reasonably priced bracket that allows the alternator to be mounted between the frame and out of the way of the upper hose. I think I paid $50 from Kirkham Motorsports.
