Seems to me that there are little oil deflectors that you can buy that clip over the rockers to keep the oil from going everywhere... Back in high school a bunch of us had Toyota Corollas with the 1.

Did the oil pressure gauge work during this trip? If it did, the problem is probably not the oil pressure gauge line - possibly it is the remote oil filter adapter. The PO of my Tiger had replaced th

Haven't heard from Jim Barrett in a few years. He used to be a regular List contributor, and he'd done a 351C installation on his Tiger. As I recall it was fairly involved. Good luck, Theo

Since the Harrington Tiger has the greater pedigree (in terms of past success at Pebble Beach etc.) I think that it will command the higher price at auction this time around. RM is a better venue for
