Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments on the brace. Having thought about it a little further, I think you guys are correct, and will need to rework the brace I have or look at some other options. For much of the afternoon I was thinking about how the factory cars didn't have any bracing...and then it hit me. "oh right, they weren't coil over conversions" :P I think I'm starting to rethink things far too much!

So I guess at this point I should break it down to the basics:

1) I'm going to be running heater boxes
2) Due to #1 I determined that a 3 bar setup was the way to go.
3) Will either need to move the mounts on the current bar or look for another option.

Moving the mounts will likely require longer bars, so I'm heading back into fab-territory any way I slice it.

Hmmmm.

As for the Accusump, its totally overkill on the system as it sits...but you did hit the nail on the head. Since I already own it from the '69 project, I might as well add it into this car for the purpose of start-up oil pressure.
