Awesomeness Dave!! That’s truly a first!!

GlowShift on Amazon GS-FA-05 Marshall 100psi gauge and the elbow are easy to find. let me know if you can’t find it

Did you consider ordering the tee fitting where you will get a true pressure reading with the mechanical gauge? The adapter came from Glow Shift Gauges. The gauge and brass adapter Amazon. I had heard GlowShift sells on Amazon. Bought it directly from them. Have a p/n somewhere if needed.

Correct

I’m not on FaceBook so it won’t open for me I presume.

I think you have done a remarkable job so far. I wish I had the expertise or could point you to someone that who does. Best of luck. There is an answer out there.

Amen!!! I would not dare to go add mine up!!!

@jfa.series1 Had a post on that.

I know the feeling!!! Not having a hoist keeps you limber when you pass #65🤣

Kudos Ron for chiming in to help a fellow member. I personally took notice and appreciated your efforts. Nice job!

With the cost of rebuilding/repairing these engines this day and age, putting a “T” in the system and being able to monitor the oil pressure at the engine is a life saver IMO. It’s inexpensive and just a piece of mind.

Friend that’s cheap insurance! The you can rule that variable out. Personally I wouldn’t crank that engine again.

Man.. He will surely be missed!!

Lots of pics before and after

Needs to be put in the archives for others as well. Beautiful pic!!

S30 texted me back a few days ago and said he was under the weather with some flu symptoms.

Definitely swap the calipers! If you have the master cyl loose it wouldn’t hurt to check the depth. When I say apply grease I mean as little as possible. 1/4 turn longer. When you go to mount it you will know if it’s too tight. Long cue tip and a smidgen of grease at the base. I think you Will definitely find it’s the calipers being reversed.

Chime in Gentlemen

From what I see it’s off from the pics shown in the post you provided. Hopefully it could be that simple

Have you tried the “old school hillbilly technique”? Just a blimish of white lithium grease on the Mc piston. Once you find evidence on the booster rod itself give it another 1/4 turn and you should be dead on.

Is it 11:35 on the distributor or 12:35 On the oil pump shaft? I need to go back and look.

Could those possibly have been a rendition of a Appliance wheel somehow?

Ahhhh, You provide more education here!!! And no tuition required 😂😂

Where have you been My friend!!!

Possibility it got flooded somewhere In its life time. Maybe salt water. Wonder what the inside sheet metal looks like.
