It's a flappy thing with a bimetal spring that restricts the exhaust when cold to build backpressure and force more exhaust into the intake manifold crossover to heat up the carb and intake faster.

I had a customer pull one off a 57 chevy and bring it in because he didn't know what it was and none of us could identify it until our resident old fart who grew up in maine took a look at it. Needless to say, we couldn't find a new one like he wanted. :v:

If you just need the brake light switch to only activate brake lights and oem isn't an easy option, consider an inline pressure activated one. I can get the part number thursday if need be and they are like $10-15.

S194 is the switch's part number from borg warner and it has a pair of bullet connectors and 1/8-27 thread on it.

A common ford 51516 wix filter would be the closest I can think of off the top of my head, but its flow rate is a little lower than the stock ls1 filter.

Given its going in a drift car thats going to spend extended times at high rpm and thusly oil pressure, I figured it was worth mentioning. :v:

A 57060 filter is the stock ls1 filter and has a flow rate of 10-12 gpm, that 51516 filter is found on a ton of fords and jeeps and has a flow rate of 7-9 gpm. It may be enough to be concerned with. :spergin:

Nah, the 51515R is a racing version of the 51515 which is commonly found on 60's-early 90s ford junk. The 51516 is the smaller version of that filter found on other 80s and 90s ford junk and has a slightly different gasket id/od. Still worth a shot.

Still confused why a greddy part would have 3/4-16 thread instead of metric, but whatever.

An etx14 is only 220cca, thats not a whole hell of alot. An etx20l will get you 310cca. A MIATA agm battery will get you 340cca and standard top posts in a very compact space.

I it posted on youtube, but just in case you forgot, you need a wire from the alternator to the battery to charge that bitch. I need to get me one of those battery cable crimpers though. I'm going to wind up rewiring alot of my boat if I keep it and that will come in damned handy because I'm going to way over build it so it will hopefully last another 30 years.
