I've always had fair luck with the Stanadyne 80 box filter myself. With that said and with economy in mind, I'm switching all 3 of my CUCVs over to the FM100 for the exact same reason you specify, economy. GL nearly flooded the market a couple of years back with filters for the FM100. Gimpy was...
Sometimes life gets in the way of hobbies and such. If you make it up to Drew's, that would be just perfect. If you don't, well, life happens. No way would I expect you to deliver it here just because you didn't make the rally. Thanks for such a generous offer though.
Mike, please do not bring that $100 trailer bed all the way to FL just to deliver it. No special trips on my behalf. First, the bed is not worth the fuel money. Second it's not worth the time and third, I can't afford the fuel money. When (if) you go to Drew's AO, drop it off there. Other than...
Since we are going in this direction, there are times when the compressor gasket is made in the field and the oil hole is overlooked. This usually results in a compressor failure but I wonder if the resultant issue factors in with the cam issue.
Here's another spring on your side of the country. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?115823-M101A3-Trailer-Parts

My father worked for Frigidaire, Delco Air and subsequently Delco Products before his death. Been to lots of the plants around Dayton. Are the truck and bus group plants just sitting vacant? Would love to walk around in there for a day of 4.
I was going to say, Moraine assembly was the same plant that produced the 6.2 family. They ran a substantial number of "Warranty Engines" through there right before the shutdown and retool for the Duramax. As far as the V8 stuff, I can't speak intelligently but there was massive numbers of...
Easy answer here. It's because of the internet. Someone once posted that it was a converted gasser and once that was out, it was doomed. The internet and the majority of it's users never let facts get in their way to telling a story or voicing their displeasure.
It's a parent bore engine and was never designed as a powerhouse. GM equated the power to be on par with a 305 gasser, nothing more. It was designed as a fuel miser and it did it's job. There are way to many folks trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip with the power thing. Once the supply of...
While camshaft failures are not the norm, they are not isolated. Broken crankshafts seem to be more prevalent in the White engines and now I'm wondering about camshafts. I would think regular oil analysis might catch bearings going away.
All the equipment is still packed away. Once I have it out and can get everything connected I'll start posting raw on youtube. I'm able to do these grabs from the few vids on my phone.
