You can always rely on Dan...he's got archived pics on standby.

How did you find the flow differences for next down level adjustment? Was it on the fence or just way too much water? Pop-off valve always open....!!

On the cig I actually ended up cutting the bottom of the pick up more 'straight' instead of the big scoop.. the scoop really pack in the water even when just a bit showing below the hull.

On Bad Kitty I got rid of some useless trans temp gauges and replaced with intercooler water pressure.

Used this strainer.. last engines they were mounted on the head which is even nicer but I don`t have any room on the new ones.

The reason I made the angle cutter was to achieve a consistent gap around to pickup tube for the 3M adhesive. I first cut an oversize hole with a hole saw then filled it with fiber reinforced epoxy, then machined it to accept the pickup tube and adhesive. Overkill I know, but I can't help it.
