No room for the filter between the radiator support and the grill unfortunately... it'd be pretty slick to build a cold air intake box around the filter and then change the marker light in the grill to an inlet duct though...

For anyone interested, the loud hiss of air at cruise was a bit excessive. I read somewhere of someone putting a unifoam sock on to quiet it down. Went looking and found Uni-Filter part # UP-6300 and ordered one. Once arrived, I cut a small hole in the top for the BOV hose to pass through and...

@halfafish - we could probably put together one pretty decent car between our stuff! I'll be watching this thread as a manual has been in the back of my mind for maybe at some point.

If ya need somebody to prove concept first with your donated stuff, I'm game... :rofl:

99% understood. To confirm, that means that air could go either way through the filter/catch can into or out of the crankcase in order to normalize crankcase pressure to whatever is needed as there would be no check valves or PCV valves anywhere in the system.

After as much as I've spent, what's another $200 plus hoses?!?! :lol: So in my case if I were to use the one suggested, I'd: Ditch the PCV Run a hose from the PCV port on the valve cover to one of the ports on the can Plug the other port in the can as I think it's a dual inlet that is vented...

Thanks. I did get this catch can "free" as part of the black Friday sale when I bought the supercharger. What would you suggest be on the outlet side of the can?

That thought had crossed my mind. It would be pretty easy to add a bung in that u-shaped tube I have between the supercharger and the air filter.

It does have these ports. I guess I'm confused as to how those could generate vacuum if there is positive pressure in the intake manifold.

EFI... It's the Super Sniper 2300 - 2 barrel one rated for blow through applications.

Nope - not that old... It completely makes sense that they can't be hooked up to the intake - It just didn't cross my mind until afterwards and noticing the oil collection. The right solution will be figured out and implemented soon.

I don't remember there being one, but will check. Thanks!

I have not opened ring gap. As of now, the whole head and bottom end are completely stock. I have read about opening ring gap before but was hoping that with the relatively low boost numbers I was expecting, it wouldn't be an issue. I do expect at some point to likely do a bottom end rebuild...

I recently finished install of the Torqstorm on my Slant 6. Got just under 100 miles on it so far and see that I'm gathering some oil on top of the valve cover around the PCV Valve. Now that I've noticed and am researching further, I feel like I might be missing some needed components such as a...

I got the modification needed done at the exhaust shop today, so thankfully the column shift linkage isn't dragging against the exhaust anymore. Made it much easier to do some shifting on my own tonight. I'm up to almost 100 miles on it so far since starting on Sunday. Running really well -...

Glad to hear progress is being made, albeit slower than you hoped!

Been doing some more reading and youtube learning... Sounds like my noise at cruise is perfectly normal... Will have to see if my sanity can tolerate it! LOL Sounds like there are a few things that can be done to lessen the sound at cruise- I'll have to see how it goes as I continue to drive it.

Put about 45 miles more on tonight. Haven't really given it hell shifting by myself on the column, but just getting on it in drive it seems to shift about 3500 rpm and developing about 3.25 lbs boost at shift. One thing I'm gonna need to figure out is the blow off valve - right now when I'm on...

Did the first drive to the gas station and O'Reilly for more tranny fluid. It made it! Didn't push it at all bit can definitely feel more power. Only went to about 2.5 psi of boost before I let off. Manual steering is going to take some getting used to- Never had a car with that before

Spent today installing gauges. Got a tach, oil pressure, volt meter, and boost now. Also got the carpet and seats back in. Tomorrow I need to do the headlight wiring modifications which will hopefully 100% fix the lighting issue I've been experiencing. Halfway confident that the first test...

Thank you. I've put a lot of effort into trying make it look as clean as possible without lots of extra stuff everywhere. I spent today installing and wiring a tach, oil pressure, volt meter, and boost gauges. Also got the interior put back in. Fairly confident the first test drive will happen...

I believe the crank pulley is always the same but they offer 3, 3.5, and 4 inch ones to go on the blower. Mine came with the 3.5 inch.

Nice ride... be sure to watch the for sale ads here on the forum for 8.75 rear ends too... I ended up buying a used one and redid the axle bearings and cleaned it up myself... I even regeared it myself, but after it being super noisy, ended up taking the center section to Moser and had them set...

I don't wanna get prematurely excited, but think I might have figured it out. I was looking at my Haynes manual and noticed that they show all the grounds for the front lights coming back to a single common point. So I took some scrap wire and clamps and grew the wires on each of the ends of...

Thanks. Kinda was my thought too so an intermediate step I made was connecting the ground to the inner fender instead of the radiator support plate thinking getting it farther away from the headlight relay kit relay would help. No dice. Then went with the attempt of running the ground all the...

And now the same issue is back. Headlights work fine if the turn signal/front marker light ground is unhooked. As soon as I connect the ground for the marker Lights the headlights stop working. Even tried running an isolated ground wire from the front marker light wire all the way back to the...

Throttle and kickdown cables installed. Need to adjust the kickdown yet but will have to wait for my son to get back here and help on Saturday. Vacuum lines permanently installed now. Tomorrow I'll trim the hood support and hopefully get the carpet reinstalled. Then make the boy help me...

Grill and lights back in. Lights are functional after half a day of troubleshooting. As part of this project I put in one of crackedback's headlight relay kits... Lights were acting dumb with things like the turn signal swith changing them between bright and dim, turn signal indicators on the...

Good news. Cut all the unused wires out of the factory harness, rewrapped it, reinstalled, and the car still managed to start when done. I must not have accidentally cut out anything important! I'm pretty happy with how the install is turning out to look. I'm excited to get to drive it again soon.
