You forgot to grab that distributor from me on Friday. Let me know if you end up needing it, I’ll ship it to you… lol.

carnage pics
obviously a problem with the fittings. I assumed i over torqued the fittings but when I talked to the company i bought it from i found they had added this to the listing:
> We strongly recommend the use of AN Male to BSP Male unions. These unions come by the pair and include the 1/2" Dowty seal. This is the proper fitting to use with any Mocal Sandwich plate.
> Use of a NPT fitting is not recommended on Mocal plates. Damage to plate or leaks may occur.
would have been useful information before.

New fab pics:
was originally a lip for another type of car. I was able to pick up this one up with the ABS shattered in a few spots. Fixed it up best I could and retrofitted it to my bumper.
Once I get the hood out here to rochester I will be making it into a full splitter/undertray directing all the air upwards. then doing some testing at the local drag strip using a spare map sensor to check pressure and zip ties to check suspension compression.

good to hear someone reads it. Do you want the old oil thermostat? im sure a couple minutes of welding bungs to it would make it useful again.
Also, I think my dad is gonna call you about the bronco. Think youll have any time to fix it up?

Well I am closing the deal on a garage out here in rochester so i can store and work on the car this winter. I also forgot to post up here that I got this on the car in the dark the night before the autocross:
definitely helped the car rotate.
