Rick, i noticed your Peterson oil primer/filter set up. I’m thinking about the same thing for both my hemi’s. Which model did you use? I sort of remember that Summit carried those?

these units are great we have one on the 64 Plymouth and it is great just hook up your drill and pre lube the engine that has been setting for a couple of weeks. Good piece of mind. The one we use is Peterson Large filter mount w/ Primer model 09-1560/09. You will have to poke a hole in your oil pan for a primer pick up spot but that is no big deal. Their number is 800 926 7867

THANKS buddy! I’m ordering today.
Can i ask, did you buy an adaptor for the oil pump on the engine, too, to make the oil filter remote?
Looks like you got a black cover on the block. Scott

looks like your motor plate is 3/8 like mine, I got a 165 amp alternator from Powermasters, made up a template of it and marked the plate so it would fit. Cut out where I marked and it fits Powermaster was smaller than a stock one You will need a high output one also. With all the electronics .

Have you got a mounting kit for it yet? I have one from Mancini if you want it, I did not have room for it with my lower hose on the passenger side and the shock tower in the way

A question for you, How much fitting for your fenders did you have to do? I picked my new set from Larry about 2 weeks ago, and I have a lot of fitting and sanding to get them to fit. How did you mount them, I used 1/8 x 1 wide metal with sert- nuts so I could use the factory holes. Thanks John

they do require some "fitting" I used the original style body clips on the inner fender panels and then used a original inner fender support (steel) glued to the inside of the fiberglas fender.
