Miscellaneous plumbing tidying up
Hey Y'All,
After looking at my coolant overflow hose routing some more, I wanted to make it look more presentable 
The surprise was that the overflow port from the filler neck was actually 1/16" NPT...kinda surprising how small it is...
So I got some fittings and tried them out. Here's what I decided on:

I was happy with the distance to the upper radiator hose, so I routed the new overflow hose right next to it and held it in place with a couple of zip-ties. I like this routing much better than before

The expansion/overflow tank's overflow hose got routed in front (and out of the way). Here, I zip-tied it to the unused sway bar bolt hole

Then, I put the "sight tube" back on the other side of the tank, and it is easier to see the level now...and the fittings are working well

Lastly, to prepare for my flush-n-fill of the Evans waterless coolant, I added the warning stickers to the fill caps

And finally, since I can trust the Pro-Flo4 fuel pressure reading, I removed the mechanical fuel pressure gauge from the pressure regulator and plugged it with a fitting.

Until next post, Happy Building!
