I bought a new SW fuel quantity gauge ,works much better. Now the battery appears to have gone bad.Does everyone struggle like me?
Then I tied into a small oil leak at the remote oilfilter .A nuesence,less than perfect.Found that one of the #10 A&N male fittings had a ding in the sealing surface".I'll put a conical seal on eash of them.Oh! I have only one.I'll use another style". I clean up after two hours getting it all back together.Look in the oil drip pan there is the other style conical seal that I thought was on the fitting.I went up to the computer and ordered 3 sets of four #10 conical seals from Summit Racing.Just found a boat load of #8 in a bag the day before.Went to town to the local hose and fitting source and showed them what I cosidered a conical seal " Oh we have some but they are more expensive" they were shaped like the seals from Earl's but copper .$2.50 each.And wouldn't you know it they didn't have any #10s. The Earl's from Summit are $13.95 per four plus $8.95 s&h.==$50.92 .Make the ones I ordered $4.28 each. they were shipped USPS , I'm still waiting .It's a beautifull day.
