They were Stewart-Warner fuel pressure, and oil temperature gauges. Not the paxton faced ones. The scary part is the fuel pressure was plumbed direct reading,with fuel right into the cabin. I remedied that with a fuel pressure isolator hidden inside the pressure box.
I wonder if the Paxton gauges were rebadged Stewart-Warner?

But, the R2 had positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) so it would be cleaner as it is forcing the fumes out, not merely venting them.
-
I also have seen the numbers stamped into the frame But they were part identification numbers, and not matching the cars serial number.
-
I have two at the shop.......right next to the Halibrand wheels!

Yes, just about every part on an R3 was red! The oil pan breather tube, the expansion tank block, cylinder heads, pulleys, oil pan, bell housing, supercharger and brackets. Except for the manifolds,chrome, and power steering pump, fuel pump, and starter most everything was red
(of course, the pressure box was unpainted also).

True, if it breaks you're screwed

You answered your own question. When the ram hoses are reversed it will do exactly as you describe.
-
Thanks, Ed. I forgot to add that the rear spare tire well was blacked out also as seen from behind.
-
Are you using the same hoses? Remember that the suction hose, (lower one) has to have a spring inside to keep it from collapsing. Is it the correct water pump? some are reverse rotation for newer serpentine belt setups.

Aurora it is! i just replaced one, and the paint was $4000 a Gallon. Good thing it only took 2 ounces.

What (outside)door handle did the AVX prototypes use?
-
3, they had composition type head gaskets
-
Show me next time you do it. i have never been able to do it on MANY that I have tried.

True, the body won't fit if the engine and supercharger are installed in the frame.
The supercharger will hit the passenger inner fender.
-
No, it;s longer, and mounts to the exhaust manifold instead of the bell housing.
-
Retarded ignition is more likely the culprit
-
21 gallons as compared to 18. dedicated vent, not through the cap. Mounted inside the car instead of under the frame. Bottom exit fuel feed to pump line. Shape (of course).
-
The ones I have worked on do have them. but not on the bottom.

If you are going to St. Louis, look me up. I have an Avanti II clutch linkage setup. I will be vending there, also, my shop is just down the street from the meet headquarters.
-
I replaced one, and can get you the number of the top.....from EZ-ON Auto tops in Florida. The rubber is available from Steele Rubber Products..
I am away from home this week

Only if the lamp is "square"....if you are talking about round sealed beams with square bezels, then they are not interchangeable, as the headlight is not centered in the bezel.
-
If they are rusty, it will take longer!
-
No, it's closer to the 57 airbox. You have to remove the R3 Emblem to adjust the idle screws. The early 57s also had plugs to remove to adjust idle.
-
It's on the expansion valve on the evaporator under the dash. The passenger side panel has to be removed to see it. There may be sticky tar-cork insulating wrap around the area that keeps the connections from sweating.

Well, let's count......one aluminum ball driver, 5 balls,2 outer races, and one center output shaft . I'd say 9.
