Bit done on a new oil tube bracket.
Some sledge and my propane torch. Wraped it around a section of solid 3/8th rod. Will JB Weld (have that in Europe?) the tube to bracket.

Went to the local wrecking yard and got some Explorer wiring, cruise cable
bits and pieces.
Found my factory 5.0 positive battery cable brackets. Almost done with battery cables/routing. Yes I am slow! lol
And painted the homemade dipstick tube.

Hope this weekend gets my computer tuning handled. I have a friend who is smarter than me. ASE tech and our companies IT guy. Perfect combo!
He is scheduled to help me Saturday!

Not been touched in days and wont be for a couple. (hurt my shoulder)
Did redo a radiator pipe. It came with "kit" bashed by a hammer on both ends. Probably work o.k. but too rough for my tastes.
I borrowed a bead tool and redid it.

Current (not so exciting) engine picture.
