Austin Speed Shop. Jesse James is part owner and probably the coolest Speed Shop around our area. I saw 30s style fords up to late 50s stuff. I asked hope if I could get a job, and she said she didn't think that would pay the bills.

Fuel pumps/harness got here today from Lonnies. Fans from Flex-a-lite got here yesterday. Chris and I have been staring at the turbo drain now for 2 days trying to get it figured out. I just bought a 30 degree fitting and it will be here friday. If it will work (crossing fingers), all we have to complete is assembly.
If it doesn't, I will have 2 options from there.
1. Lift motor and lower k-member to pull the oil pan off to tap a drain fitting in it.
2. Buy the turbowerx exa pump and mount it somewhere under the hood.
I hope the 30 degree fitting will work because this whole ordeal has been a huge headache. Nothing like spending a ton of money, to only have nothing go right with it in the course of 7 months.
Paid $xxxx on August 2nd. Finally received all of the parts on February 21st.
Sorry for the rant. Just a little tired/frustrated. Hope to have Nightmare out in a month or so.

Are you talking about the turbo drain thats mounted near your pulley Admin's Note:[/hr] What type of hose are you using Admin's Note:[/hr]
Dude dont wait for fittings, If you need some Alamo Hydraulics, Bohls bearing and SAB stock them. Your best bet is Alamo Hydraulics.

Bought the fitting online. Don't have time to go anywhere here BC of work. Fitting will be here Friday. Lonnies fuel pumps and harness is very nice. For recommend him to anybody building a car with some power.
