    383 low oil pressure

    1st things 1st, drain oil, send sample in for analysis. Replace filter with quality filter and oil with 20w50. At this point you will at least know that it has good filter and oil. After that, it could be many things. Easiest w engine still in is oil pump in my opinion.

    To shroud or not to shroud...

    You "might" get away w not using a shroud, but why? Why does everyone try to reinvent the wheel, think they are smarter than engineers? It is not hot in NC or AL, lived in both places. It's "hot" in AZ, my summers regularly hit 125°. Quit reading "Hotrod" magazine n thinking your car should...

    Failed Smog !

    Fuel return line plumbing.

    Is it for fuel injection or mechanical pump on carb? FI will flow a higher volume and psi and "possibly" cause a little aeration. If it's mechanical pump from carb, it'll trickle down fill tube to tank and be just fine.
