OK, back in the garage, long weekend helping an old friend out, getting ready to liquidate his collection of stuff... Anyone for a 69 Talladega?

These were waiting for me when I got home. New seals for my half shafts!
 

About $13 each.

Here was something that I wanted to display as well...FYI thing.... This is a fuel filter that I carried as a spare in the tool box in my Goose. Installed it in my son's 68 Cougar a few months ago....and recently started having problems with sticking float needle assys and flooding out.... One day I was working on it and pulled it off to see what was in it, in terms of what would fall out of it....well, I heard something rattling around in it!!! Figured that was not right, so replaced it with an original Ford part, similar, only much smaller in diameter. Last week, got bored and wanted to see what was inside..... Glue had separated and filter was rattling around loose, letting crap float past the filter! No spring to hold this one in place!!! CRAP filters!!!! Beware next time you buy..... I won't be doing this again!

 

Here is what I installed back into the Cougar. (FG-44A Gasoline Filters. They cross to Ford D3FZ-9155A, Fram G3515, and Puro GF24.)

 

Will be doing something similar with the Goose too!
