    The 383 is finally going in!

    The 383 is finally going in!

    I'm so slow but finally im getting something done. Installed my malpassi fuel regulator and started to mount the fuel pump and return line to the tank. Can i use the original vent pipe on the tank for my little hose and air filter?

    New oilpan + one piece gasket help

    Not touching the pump or the filter. It's just so tight on both ends. Guess i can tourqe it down so it sits tight all around but it just doesn't feel right. Is it possible i might have gotten the wrong gasket?

    Where can i find the "frame" number?

    Ok i can't locate it. I've checked as long as i could with a mirror and flashlight on top of the frame on the passanger side. Is it on top of the frame between the frame and cab or am i searching on the wrong spot? If i were to stamp new frame vin is it important where i stamp it?
