did i at any point in time mention the colour PINK?

and who said anything about mild??

oh and BTW, i'm getting an engine from Qld... 308, apparently some bits missing, but it's a start..... will hopefully see it on the weekend and go over it to find out what's missg... and of course, it's the right price!

I also spoke to someone about the gas tanks, apparently IMPCO (?) make a tank that fits into where the current petrol tank sits and then they also mentioned that there's space on the passenger side for another tank as well.... yes, i'm thinkg of 3 tanks! go gas.... need to eat more beans!

G'day all,
Ive painted manifolds in 4 to 5 coats of clear before. It gives it a matt finish that always looks good ond is easy to hose clean later.
Love that Capri Blocker my first year of my Apprenticeship the spanner spinner i was working for had one with a Blown Boss 302 in it. One run around the block and it was Supercharger only for me.
When i start my fresh engines Jen i dont prime the pump, i hook up a converted fire extingusher that you fill with oil, plumb into sender unit hole, hook up air and when you start cranking you hit the trigger. Gets pressure right from the start everytime.

that's what's been suggested to me too, my bigger tank that i've already got i was told holds 72 usable litrs, but i've never ever filled it over 45L, but i've also never run it completely empty. Closest was read light flashing for around 30k's. Then apparently you can get a tank to fit where the petrol tank is now and then another tank on the other side. So i'm going to find out about that. thanx.
