    88 NA oil pump options?

    If you use the Cressida Pan you're pretty much stuck with the OEM small pump, if you can make a custom pickup you might get a GTE big pump in there.

    Cipher Auto Seats

    Agree 100%, I used the stock seats in my old Z car and just had my upholstry guy retrim for the harness holes I put in them.... During my accident the back of the seat collapsed (rearward impact at speed) causing most of my major injuries (broke my back in 6 places)..

    Adjusting the power steering pump for lower pressure, has anyone done it?

    If done correctly it achieves a desired result, seriously Nash don't call things stupid just because it's not how you would do it.... Increasing Castor makes it much more stable at high speeds and will make the self centering firmer which is what the OP is trying to achieve.

    How about a Hobbs switch for second fuel pump

    Yep I have 2 of those Aeromotive's, they do one that's based on boost as well but as my car is Blown and not Turbo RPM based is fine for me.

    How about a Hobbs switch for second fuel pump

    This was how I used to run them way back in the late 80's, these days you can use an electronic fuel pump controller to ramp the 2nd pump in so there's no ugly transition as Crypton pointed out. Current project car will use the stock ECU and fuel pump to feed a 2 gal surge tank that has 2x...

    Adjusting the power steering pump for lower pressure, has anyone done it?

    Nice job figuring that out Dest, I just ran a lot of castor in mine and it was near enough, when I went PPS I used the MoTeC to control the rack so could tune it for any feel I wanted.

    Adjusting the power steering pump for lower pressure, has anyone done it?

    I played around with a bunch of different size pullies, it made a difference... Think about it at low engine speeds the pump isn't anywhere near the Pressure bypass.

    Hole for fuel pump

    Usually if someone is highlighting stupidity it's going to be a Mod doing it ;) (this thread has already attracted a Gumby but I'll let it go for now) We try to keep personal attacks to a bare minimum and discourage it in general as there's usually a flow on effect that can turn the forum...

    Hole for fuel pump

    Very welcome! might want to lighten up a bit Randy, I don't think Brad was calling you stupid or even implying it but we do have members that would have attacked it with a hole saw ending in a ball of fire so in a way he was just looking out in case... ;)

    Hole for fuel pump

    Floor is the same .9mm sheetmetal as most of the body work, if you're good with a hammer and dolly you could cut your hole then hammer in a flat area that could seal a sheet cover using a rubber gasket, I'd use NutSerts if you plan on accessing it as sheetmetal screws can/will strip out in time/use.
