I've seen chrome and painted filter canisters on Ebay. How can I tell the repros from the originals? Are the originals all painted?

Thanks for the lead on Dearborn tube and for the idea of running a line straight through the filter cannister.

Painted or chrome are correct. I have several historic photos in Cobra books that show them to be black on the 427 engines. The chromed units were part of an underhood dress up option on Galaxies and Fairlanes.

The one on my car now, was chrome. Last year I powder coated it satin black.

I never knew they were used on trucks until today...to think of all the ones I've passed up over the years without checking under the hoods!

Called Tim at DST today and left a message, hopefully I didn't put off ordering mine too long he can get me a kit too...

I sent Tim an email last night and he returned a call to me this morning. He fixed me up with everything I needed and I needed everything from the fitting at the pump to the fitting to the fuel log. He has black and chrome cannisters, brackets, lines, fuel logs, and fittings. Very nice guy and helpful. I think several forum members have contacted him since Mickmate and Dcdoug recommended him. He appreciates the business.
