    shelter-mounted radio sets - TRC, MRC, GRC, or VRC?

    There is logic behind the numbering, although its often hard to see why certain things are classified the way they are. I researched this some time ago and published an overview, there are some docs on it around.. http://radionerds.com/index.php/Radio_Numbering_Specification

    Ok now go one step backward to before the fuel filter and see if its the same flow rate. did they bypass the mechanical lifter pump when they installed the electric lifter? Full of fuel, yes.. that sucks, however, you need to do the sock anyway, better now than on the roadside somewhere...
