I can't find your comments.   Yes 3/8 and M10 fittings are so close if you are a newbie like me its hard to tell they aren't the right fittings.  They even hold fluid after bleeding.   I have to switch them all out eventually but don't have the ambition.   I thought a brake line was a brake line.  In Australia you can only buy one type but here you can buy 3!  US, English, and Japanese 

Great pics Charlie. A huge TY to all that came out to support our event. We had a very good turnout & had some very nice trucks & cars show up. Very nice to see old friends & make a few new ones. A big TY to Charlie..Tony..Carlos & Chopper him for helping on the grill 😎 Plans are already in the works to make next year's event bigger & better. Ill be posting pics soon as I upload them 📷🇯🇵🇺🇸  

I still disagree on the adjustable cam gear. I've seen enough of them come apart that I won't use them anymore. A far simpler option is to use a cam degree bushing. All you have to do is drill the hole in the stock L series cam gear and insert the bushing, degree the cam, and tighten the cam bolt.       Another aspect to the L series that you need to be aware of is the stability of the valvetrain. Historically it is very stout, but building one to run 8500 rpms or more requires a good head guy, and the right parts. Then there's the durability, which is limited. Running up to 8000 will mean a valvetrain inspection and valve adjust at least every time you hit the track. A broken valvespring is not uncommon when running that hard. You could probably go a year on this without problems.  A full race GT4 L16 valvetrain will need constant maintenance and a full rebuild at least once a year if no problems occur.   Lastly, what do we call you? Do you have pics of this truck?   Just for fun, here's a pic of broken L , KA and A series pistons from my collection.  

Air filter housing mounted and piping done...       Oil cooler mounted...       Will mount the oil filter beside the air cleaner housing and then run the hoses...

This morning, I cleaned up the air cleaner I got from Pick-n0Pull yesterday. Inside of the lid. Outside of the lid.  This needs a little attention. These are the vacuum hoses for the vacuum motor in the air cleaner snout.  The two black hoses on the right go to a "T" with another hose that were not connected to anything when I found the air cleaner at the junkyard. There are the two controls for the vacuum motor. i have an idea of how they work, and does this system also use the two port valve on the thermostat housing?  Air cleaner is off a 1974 620 truck.
