That’s the cooling system buttoned up, gotta have original moulded hoses, I can’t be doing with those universal elephants trunk things…

Couldn’t agree more!
Had to get used to ordering later hoses, though, the ones listed for 70 at Rock auto don’t fit!

Just need to find a suitable shroud as a finishing touch.

Yes, they're not long enough.

I had to shorten both the top and bottom hoses a touch but the fit is perfect now.

Bit of warning light action. Low oil pressure warning light, tucked out of the way but in line of sight, shift light disguised as a clock blanking plate, and a charge/ ignition light as the Denso alternator has provision for it.

Fuel system boxed off, Carter HP mechanical pump with regulator and Teflon lined hoses. 75 vac sec carb for now until a suitable double pumper can be sourced.

Great work Blue. Can imagine Stu is going to enjoy putting it through its paces.
How do you fancy a full rewire for the next project.

Sorry Dave not taking on any new work for the foreseeable, I’ve already committed to enough to keep me busy for the next year. A proper rewire (soldered not crimped) doesn’t half consume the hours.

I always weld in a Lambda bung into the exhaust so you can tune with an AFR meter.

That is an amazing amount of progress in such a short time, very inspirational.
I shall take some of these ideas on board with the Torana.
