Super fun video, what a machine!

Jim Morrison's is next. Someone at Carlisle said it's turned up and and the auto archeologists guy's are doing a show on it!  Maybe Dennis has found it!

Getting ready for Carlisle, painting the pan bolts that got scratched up when changing the gasket. Wiping down underneath.

I was clinched and smiling at the same time with this read. Thanks for passing it on.

I ended up buying several extra sockets and picked the ones that fit the best. It was a little strange that some would fit better than others and bending the tabs didn't seem to work right. I also agree with dielectric grease.

+1 on Permatex thermostat and water pump sealant

Same here Christmas present ordered!

Mine also was bare shell after painting and I didn't think was hard. Only part was the bend into the engine bay around the frame had to be manipulated a little.

Just to make sure, you know the one piece goes down the driveshaft tunnel right.

Oh I got that now thanks. I misread that part. Thanks. I didn't paint the adapter so that's good, it didn't look like it ever was.

Ok will do Bob. I'm going to compete in Div II. Thanks.

Hum. Very interesting with the black and the blue color stuff.  I don't know what a " lunch pail part" is. I've heard that term before but never asked what it means. So I'm thinking paint the aftermarket one in the picture with correct crimp ( I see what you're talking about) paint it blue, let it dry, spin it on the engine mark how it's clocked pull it off paint on a heavy coat with runs.  I don't want blue over spray getting on everything. Sound about right?

Is that what everyone is doing for SAAC judging? If so what filter are you starting with just a standard FL1A and spray it?

Is this the correct assembly line  oil filter for early 500?

" c " marked clamp very helpful I'll have to see what I purchased. Along with the clamps the fuel line looks unmarked with "gas" in all the pictures if I need to address this would be the time. I have a one piece fuel line. And should line by tank and before pump be same, with or without "gas" markings.
