I gotta ask why do you run a vacuum pump with a dry sump. Looks like a weaver pump. I worked there as a kid and crank case vacuum was not a problem with just the dry sump. Dig the FED thou...paint is bitchen

 8)  Yeah.  Thought I would try a spray Chrome, rather than actual chrome plating as, 1 it's cheaper and I can do it at home. 2 chrome plating here in the UK doesn't last well, think it's due to Elf N Safety and the chemicals that they used to use.

       I don't run a dry sump on mine . I use an external pump with a full kickout pan . Some of the Comp guy's do run a vac pump with there dry sump's When I was a crew member on a comp car we ran an electric Vac pump with the dry sump . You can run a lot more pan vac like 18 inches with a dry sump .
