Needing engine parts
« on: October 27, 2013, 05:45:38 AM »
Need some small parts to complete engine to get her running.  Brass fitting for hydro vac that goes into intake, couple of brass nuts for exhaust manifold, upper radiator pipe, water temp fitting that goes into the head. Also what do I need to setup a temporary oil pressure setup. I have to right hand front bumper hooks and need a left does anyone have one they want to swap. All parts can be take off will clean up myself. Thanks

Most of those fittings can purchased at any shop that sells hydraulic hoses and such. We got brass nuts at our local fastener supply house. The one fitting that will be tough is the 90' elbow that goes from the air cleaner to the block it's 1/4 npt to # 7 jic. Not much call for #7 these days. As far as the oil psi we have a hose with a 1/8 npt fitting on the end and hooked up to a remote gauge, until we start and fun the engine then will hook up the dash gauge.
