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.
