Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks Dennis. That's how I thought they might go. It's really the only way for it to work. I was just having a problem with the tires hitting. Guess I'll go play with it some more. Then I'll go work on my truck.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I thought you were joking. I really thought you meant the cantilever 4 links I did on a 55. But it was a Caddy.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Strodde I just notice you mentioned on Alan's site that you put a T and mounted two temp sensors in it.. How does it work... I was having the same issue with an older intake and found a thremostate cover that had a bung on it for a temp sensor.. Came stock on a mid 60 GM vehicle, a truck I think.. Don't remember its been over 10 years since I got it... One sendor for the fan and one for the guage.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
It's a brass T. I hope it works OK, because I haven't started it yet. Might have to bleed air from it so the sensor reads correctly.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
It shouldn't effect it, unless like I said if it has a air pocket in the Tee.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
the brass conducts the temperature pretty good i think the little air inside wouldn't affect it , maibe making it slower to come up and go down , pressure sensors would be a different matter

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I have used them before both on oil pressure and water temp (to have a gauge and the idiot light in my case) and it works real well normally. Well at least n the olde days of the 60s/70s.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
sorry i think i forgot to mention that i was talking about the airbubble , it might mess up the pressure reading
the T will work fine with everything
