I've hit a little snag--literally.
I got the cooler mounted, and ran the hoses up over the valve cover and down between the 1/2 and 3/4 intake manifolds.
Then I mounted the carbs (BS34s). Then I noticed that the oil hoses are getting in the way of the throttle movement, not allowing the throttle to return to a closed position. If I push the hoses toward the head, I can get free travel of the throttle. But the hoses won't stay out of the way on their own.
What I am thinking about doing is to get some metal cable ties, threading them around the openings in the head (into the #2 & 3 spark plug areas) and around the oil hose to "pull" the hose toward the head to keep them out of the way of the throttle. I'll probably use some kind of protective cover around the hose to keep the cable ties from biting into the hose.
Any better suggestions?
