A bit of recycle today! Years ago I had to replace the piece of Lexan on the old RATICAL
--- well I was able to salvage a 25" x 5" piece for the front of the new "pilot house" and 2 5" x 36" for the two sides---it will look like it is 1 piece the butt joint is behind the verticals!! My Scottish ancestors would be proud---lol

Sparky, maybe I missed it-what ignition system are you running?
Lakester looks great-you've come a LOOOOONG ways since El Mirage last year!

Buddy ---sometimes I feel like I am just closer to going crazy ---waiting on Brown Santa for parts and Marty for intercooler---I cant wait any longer---I really need to mount and plump the intercooler to stay out of trouble---I started to run water lines---on RATICAL I was able to run them in the bottom of the car ---on the WW I am having to put them upstairs.
This is 1.25' tubing with .062 wall with 1" 90s and 45s-- which give me 1.120 id I used a die grinder to cut the threads out of the pipe fittings we will braze them. I was tempted to make much longer runs of straight tubing but figured that down the road it might be easier to take them out than cut them out---lol
Buddy
MSD 7 their 2 amp coil for 7 & 8 boxes--I don't know what color it is ---it is one color on the internet and another in the cat. the part # is 8261

made lots of phone calls---where is my stuff---
push rods should be here Tue.
Fire fox ---8.3/4 # fire bottle---back ordered
MSD coil---not here yet -- no idea when
Great new--Marty brought the ALMOST completed inter cooler over this morning--I chased parts and got serious about plumbing it all so that I can mount it
Air Aid filters are suppose to have the rest of the pieces Tue am---will be ordering some body mounting weld on Dutz tabs when I go to pick up the Manley 7/16th push rods and MSD coil, I will pick up the electric oil pressure and manual boost gauges !
The serious crunch is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More recycle yesterday---a filter trap out of one of the commercial dish washers has been reassigned duty--- it is now an ice strainer to keep bergy bits from entering the pumps.

I would not worry too much about that strainer. It may restrict flow. I have never known anybody to have a problem with ice going through the pump. Most of our gang use the Rule submersible pumps and they just seem to pass the smaller chunks through. The nice thing is that ice always floats. As long as you are sucking from bottom of tank, you should be getting cold water and not much ice.

I agree. We ran a 15 gallon intercooler tank in our roadster. I had a WRC Celica intercooler pump and we put in 40 lbs of crushed ice per run. Even THAT pump couldnt pull the ice down in that big tank.
Fun sidenote: our intercooler was horizontal on top of our slant 4 engine. It had a nice flat top surface, which was outside of our hood. While we were precooling before starting the engine and leaving the start line, the starter sometimes set his ice tea on the intercooler. He'd tell folks he was cooling his drink while he checked the belts and all.

Rob don't those rule pumps have built in strainers?
1 inside the "cooler" the 1" inlets to the two pumps
2 the "re-purposed" piece
3 inside --in place

Sparky, it looks real good!
Even though ice floats, we also added mesh screen, similar to yours-no sense taking a chance!
