Hey Rex - do you have a part number for that oil filter adapter?

My 2 year old Dorman lines are leaking like a friggin sieve when cold ... I think it might be time for me to rid myself of that issue once and for all!

Nice work, BTW ..

How about a link instead
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/na...1300/overview/
It was $14.92 shipped. I may have found it a $1 or 2 cheaper elsewhere but summits customer service has been great for exchanging my lights and my gears without question or hassle so for piece of mind I'll continue to order from them. Not to mention I had a tracking number within 3 hours of placing my order.

Well I have tires! They are the tires I relly want since they are just ATs but I only paid $150 for the set and they still ahve really good tread left so they will work to get the build done and work out kinks then I can likely sell them later for a profit and get some tires that I actually want.

Yeah I was happy with the price! I'm hoping to get the tires mounted next week along with putting the front axle back together then I don't have any other excuse besides time for not at least getting it into roller status. The back should be fairly quick and painless to get under there and the front is only a matter of of trimming the shackle hangers a bit and getting them where I need them to be. Then it's test fit and a hole bunch of welding while laying on my back. Maybe I can talk the porsche shop into letting me use a lift for an hour to burn in the hangers!

Awesome Rex - thanks for the link! Nice BFG's too!

I'm a big Summit fan too - they were great throughout my engine swap and carb install. Had lots of little parts I had to cobble together, the worst of which was the air cleaner spacer. Finding one that not only fit my air cleaner, but allowed the hood to shut was a challenge. Lots of shipments went back to Summit. They'd have the other parts on their way before they even received mine. Great company there.

OH hey one more question ..... which oil filter fits that adapter?

From my understanding it's just the same filter you would use regularly.

SFA you can use the stock filter, IFS you should use a shorter one. I've got one for a 2.2 sunfire/cav in the Sonoma
