Fn4, So we can try and find a fluid with similar properties or just go with the GM stuff. I really wish that the aftermarket companies would just look at the GM spec and determine if they meet it or not. It sure would be a lot easier. I would just use the GM fluid but my gut tells me that the...

Problem solved! Anyone trying to decide between mech and elect oil pressure gauges might want to consider this: I have 2 mech oil pressure gauges in my 99 cobra. One is plumbed into the extra block port and the other is connected to the air side of my Accusump. After the install I noticed that...

The idle pressure started showing low as well, so I changed the filter. The idle pressure now shows normal but the cruise pressure is still about 10psi low. I'm fairly confident that the pressure is normal because the gauge on the air side of the system does not reflect this problem. Just seems...

I have the canister type so changing it is easy but the elements are expensive. I suppose that I could just put the old one back in if it wasn't the problem. I was hoping that Gary would be around to provide some input as well. KG

Yeah, I emailed Autometer and they gave me the standard, "We don't know, but if you send it to us with the receipt we'll look at it". I had asked them about the air in the line when I first installed them and they said it was fine. You would think if my fullflow was getting clogged that it...

About 3 months ago I installed an Autometer mechanical oil pressure gauge. The feed line comes from the extra port near the factory oil switch and the gauge is mounted on the A-pillar. Everything was working fine, then one day while cruising down the highway, I notice that the gauge was reading...

I have yet to install the bypass filter! Too busy trying to reinvent the darn thing. I think that I've settled in on a TP filter, just trying to come up with a way to package it. You have renewed my interest in the original concept though. My remote filter is a canister type so the sandwich...

So, from a volumetric efficiency perspective only , cost not included, what is the best oil bypass filter media? Cellulose, poly, glass etc??? I have seen some of the TP filters and I'm not knocking them but some of them are BIG!! (TP users please do not take offense) Does anyone have an...

Gary A: Thanks for fixing my post. I tried, but the edit time had already expired. The forums are a good source of information but can sometimes be a bad form of personal communication, so no offense taken. Shultz: I'm going to try and use a Canton racing products Mecca 1 micron fuel filter...

Sorry about that....I'm computer challenged and a reeeeally slow typist!!! I just realized that the pic was clickable....duh Thanks for the info.
