With the oil filter piped with what appears to be copper tubing, keep a constant watch as copper tubing is prone to crack when subjected to vibration.

I had to add 3/4 quart of oil. Every time I do something to the old coupe something else needs attention. I'm slowly making headway...I think.

I can't imagine how it would bolt up.So it's like a splash pan? That's a new one on me.I've looked at the exploded view of all the manuals/parts . I can't see a pan like that at all. The exhaust pipe goes thru a hole in the pan? If this is a joke I'm telling everyone you traded for a Ford...just kidding

(had a line on a pair of nice ones, but light on funds) The 2 dr. Master Sedan also has them. Dave old cars are meant to be driven !! VCCA # 047832
