...Problem tho. No one in the world makes a 12x1.25 thread fitting(which is the measure of the allen plug) out to a -3 fitting.

Therefore one has to be made. I tig welded a custom fitting to make this work. i can get pics.

We had some custom fittings machined that fit this spot and allow you to install a 3/8" NPT fitting. It's where we get the oil pressure for our gauges.

welp instead of making to the monthly meet like I really wanted to my car decided otherwise.

I had been driving it around all damn week and right when I want to actually go somewhere it takes a dump on me. Im not quite sure what to expect but this thing is for sure loosing fuel or spark.

Driving around town seeing no boost the car seemed fine. Out of no where it starts cutting out at higher rev. like 2.5 to 3k. Im wondering if its starving for fuel. Pulled the spark plugs, they all seem fine. No idea what it could be yet. Im gonna take the better part of the day tomorrow to see wtf is going on.

Im so pissed I didnt even make it 20 miles before shit hit the fan. maybe ill update again tomorrow but right now im ready to push it off a cliff and call it good
