I will be installing this ICV just ahead of the main tank so the fuel does not slosh back to the saddle tanks on acceleration. It is made to fit 1-1/2" inlet which is perfect. Tried to install it yesterday but still had too much gas in the car.

Went to Alice's Restaurant in Woodisde, CA. to burn some fuel and give the car another shakedown.

This car is AMAZING, I have raced 914 Porsches on tracks and this beast has twice the power and a better ride. I could drive it everyday. No problems at all, just a couple of squeaks I need to chase down.

Well, looks like the show will not be until September. Just gives me more time to get other things done on the car and enjoy it some more. I hope you guys can make the September 27th date.

It seems the later model front turn signal housings are very pricey. So I am going to utilize something similar to the earlier models using amber LED lights for the running lights and a standard 1157A bulbs for the turning indicators. The lenses will be clear.

Thanks for the link.
If this route doesn't work I might give those a try, had something similar to those but were made in the "far east" which left a bad impression.

I have a couple of crappy turn signal housings you can have for whatever it costs to mail them. They are probably too pitted to be rechromed but they could be painted maybe. Let me know if you want pictures. Bob

I think they will fit in the buckets, would only be concerned if you were trying to install LED bulbs with fans.
