Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
so wasn't able to do much today (actually had to work, unacceptable) but did get the oiling hooked up.
I screwed around with different ideas, but decided Just to weld JIC fittings to cut down stock oil line stubs. My only concern is potential vibration, but the stubs are short enough and the pushlock line has enough play that I think I should be fine.
I ended up drilling out the O-ring side of the JIC fitting, and pressing the steel tube into the fitting a bit before welding.
I have a new exhaust down pipe on order that should be here later this week.
Things left to do before a test drive are-
Hook up fuel
Hook up throttle
Hook up oil pressure gauge
Hook up cooling
resolve glow plug wiring
hook up alternator
make new exhaust
Hopefully I should have all this done by the time the downpipe arrives later this week
