[Fot] sump capacity

[Bill Babcock]

If you are using a manual valve you need to get to it when starting the car.
If you want it out of the cockpit you can either use a cable remote or
electric valve. Fifty bucks is great, especially since it probably has a valve
and a little plumbing. Those Porsche guys are handy to know. BMW drivers tend
to sell nice stuff cheap too.

TR3 I'm building. Looks nice and compact, and I'd like to fit a remote gauge
anyway.
