Exactly, so where is it getting aeriated? His pump is well submerged in oil, 10W30, room temp. If there were a restriction somewhere, making a venturi effect, could that do it? Thanks again.

Hi guys, I'm helping a friend of mine diagnose an oil foaming problem with his '29 Model A. He's building a new engine and has put in a modified oil pump and he has modded the oil system to put oil where it wasn't before as well as adding an external filter. He's testing the pump by driving the...

That's pretty slick Ken, nice job! Let us know how she runs and drives. I really need to get back to mine, haven't touched it in months. The engine is wired and ECM is intalled, next is the main wiring harness. Cheers

That's pretty cool Ken, nicely built. Can hardly wait to see it running. Cheers

ken-r-mer, That sounds cool, could you post some pics? Would love to see it. Cheers

Hi guys, I am getting ready to head out to retrieve this project car in the next few weeks and I am applying for the reg now as it is missing can take a few months to get and need to know what the model number is, or how it is on your paperwork. My VIN tag says the model number is 0572C and...

That's brilliant Ken! Nice work!! What injectors are you planning to use and what fuel pressure? Is it MegaSquirt control? Looking forward to seeing the next phase. cheers

Just re-read the thread and missed this, great idea, I was going to build a hot wire setup but I have a number of Weller guns here and will try those first, maybe mod one to use hot nichrome wire. cheers

Thanks Ken, Yes, classic braid...$240, but there's enough to do several vehicles, maybe more. It's best cut with a hot wire as scissors just mangle the ends. cheers

Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated. I have made a lot more progress and will make another update once it's all back together. I decided to strip the injection system off to paint the engine and firewall then start to reassemble it, permanently so I can carry on with the main chassis...

Hi Guys, I am restoring the gauges and getting ready to use them in a 12V system and I have 2 complete sets that came with the F-47, but the TEMP and OIL behave the opposite from each other, and I am wondering why. You can see in the pictures that 2 are stationary at full right, and 2 are to...

That looks awesome Ken, nice job!

Thanks Mart, And that is exactly what I was hoping for, as the fuel injection alternates the injector pulses side for side, and as it turns out, is working very well for me so far. I just welded up a temporary exhaust from the headers so I can mount the O2 sensor and start gathering data and...

Hi Gene, Which temp sensors did you use, the Volvo or Taurus, or something else? Thanks

Hi Al, Does this look like your fan? There are about 4 or 5 listed for the Liberty, I'm not sure if this is a push or pull fan, I continue checking. It's 2 speed which is great. cheers https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-49991-620-475.aspx ps further checking shows the one I linked is a puller...

Thanks Gene, I too saw that Volvo controller in my search. I have a 10SI alternator, I think 63 A, planning on putting in a 78A, should be enough. I was planning on putting the temp sensors in the ports behind the water pumps, or even the port on the passenger water pump. I have a brand new...

Thanks Al. I have been scouring the web and catalog pages and it seems the most popular one for swap on any car is the Lincoln MKVIII or '90's Taurus, Cougar, Sable. They are a little bit bigger but are pullers. The one you mentioned looks like it would be exactly the right size though. Cheers

I was actually asking about the ports behind the water pumps, near the bottom of the block that he mentioned, I hadn't noticed them before so I will have to have a close look when I get back to the shop. Thanks!

So would either of these ports be in the direct path of water returning from the rad, and make a good place for an electric fan temp sensor? cheers

That's how we ended up with 25 million Beetles.
