    The Ferrari racing van is fantastic! (What are you going to do with it???)

    As for the gold plenum, ... oh, never mind.

    +1 -- but it's the oil pressure switch that you want to buy (not the oil pressure sender). Your oil pressure gauge reading a reasonable value at idle (and increasing as it should as RPM increases) is near-proof that it's just a problem with the oil pressure switch.

    So I’ve resurrected the Original, it just sits and sits. Battery gave up the ghost so I went and did it again, Optima, obnoxious price but it did last a long long time so another one. While I was in there I treated the surface rust on the tray with converter and put it back together, went out for a cruise, oil light still comes on, but it should reliably keep being on because I never changed the sender. I have one new in the box but I’ll need to make the bent tool to switch it out easy. Since I own my rental shop now I’ve decided to make things easier and sink the lift in the floor. I’m keeping the house and shop original to the property, it’ll be sold eventually since it’s 9 acres on the lake road. Around here everything gets bulldozed. I’m debating putting the Euro up for trade in the classifieds for something with a rebuilt title and interesting. Preferably carbed. I’m a jackass but not the kind that’s going to chop up this car to make something else. The Outlaw build has me wanting to do another

    I have the same lift so am interested to ask how deep you’re digging the pit?

    thank you, John

    I went down 10” then brought it up to 4”, lift is 5 so 1” proud. No more wood needed to drive onto or worry I’ll shear an oil plug

    Hey, that's a slick trick to lock the pulleys. I haven't seen that one before.
