Hello all
I'm building a vintage Midget and since I've been hauling this car around for years and still have a ways to go I bought an old SCCA 72 car. With your help I've got it running strong. I was at a vintage weekend at Roebling and found many cars running an accusump so I purchased one and I've ordered the fittings needed. First dumb question. My oil lines leave the lower side of the engine ( where the filter was) go through the oil cooler up to the filter and return to the upper rear side of the engine. so I will put the accusump in between the filter and the upper return, with a check valve, do I have the flow right?
Cooling the new car does not have a fan, appears to be a new radiator. In my boxes of parts I have a thermostat block out sleeve what does this do and should I be using one in this car. FYI I'm in South Carolina and will run in 60deg temps Jan and 100 deg June.
