  1. Running a vacuum hose to the intake and flooding the enviroment with clouds of smoke from sucking out the oil is not my general idea of being a good neighbor. One could suck it out with a siphon syringe, but that doesn't get the stuff from the bottom of the sump.

  2. If you are counting rocker shaft "welch plugs" then your count is incorrect.

    Your question specifically said "CORE PLUGS"

    That is by definition only for CASTINGS.

    NOT for sealing up a machined tube. So you can subtract 4 right there.

    There are 6 in the sides of the casting, and three in the belhousing area (one behind the other in the distributor hole.)

    That makes 9 the Technically correct answer to your specific question.

    Don't change the rules to fit what you want it to be mid question.

  3. Be sure and tell your body guy the small ones are the front, and also that the thin edge is the top. They do not carry the load of the bumpers, the steel brackets inside the fender do that. Make sure you have all the brackets, or the fiberglass will not hold the bumper.

  4. 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?

  5. 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). ;)
