  3. I noticed that there was some pressure build up in the Winters QC last time I checked the level so just installed a remote breather. It’s a small oil catch can and installed it so it’s tough to see plus blends in with the rest of the area. Not shown is the hose that now attaches it to the fitting on the top of the QC.

  4. Took the Vicky to Mill Bay on Vancouver Island Saturday morning for the LG Speed and Kustom reliability run. Raining when I left Parksville and cleared up for the day on the drive. The Buick nailhead is running fantastic with no complaints.

    Roger, How was the turnout for Lee’s run? Also I have found that when the differential vent is in the center close to the ring gear it will fling off the ring gear and be a problem. If you find that the catch can fills up try moving the vent fitting to one of the axle tubes.
     
  6. It was a great turnout and definitely a lot of cars that I have not seen. Each year is definitely getting better. There was a pickup from the mainland and a car from Salt Spring Island.
    Thanks for the tip and I haven’t checked it since install. I was more concerned with the pressure buildup and that is no longer an issue.
    The car is running fantastic and since resolving some steering issues, it’s really nice to drive. I need to reroute the exhaust further back as it presently dumps before the diff which is basically behind the seat.

    Great to hear! Lee and Shannon are great people and really look forward to doing this. My cousin and I drove our cars up from Washington last year but had a conflicting schedule this year. Hopefully a few of us will make it up next year.
