General Discussion / Crossram air Filters air flows

« on: January 19, 2023, 04:52:40 PM »

is there an after-market Crossram inexpensive 2.5" tall air filter available.

does not need to be show quality or replicated.

I have a couple of the 1.75" tall $25.00 filters but unsure about inadequate air flow when I get on it.
or, maybe I'm ok with 1.75" talls
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Walt

General Discussion / Crossram under std cowl hood

« on: November 19, 2022, 04:32:09 PM »

Just wondering if the cross ram will work with the std (round hole) cowl hood.
Or does anyone know of modifications that can be made the hood to accept the crossram.
Not too crazy about modifying an original cowl hood, but I will on my aftermarket one.
Any ideas or recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

the vin numbers are what I can't' figure out.

with photo enhancement, the 9 may be a 3, the 0 may be a 9, if so: 13291276
please see picture.
any help is appreciated.

Garage Talk / Vintage O2 Engine analyzer parts or repairs

« on: October 19, 2022, 05:03:44 PM »

Looking recommendations for parts or someone who can repair a vintage exhaust gas analyzer.
The O2 sensor in the sensing unit box is bad.
Peerless Part # HA 8210 A, but this unit is also used with the Stewart Warner, Sears Penske and some Sun Analyzers.
Meter unit is good.

Hoping there's another O2 sensor that can be used with this meter.

Thank in Advance,
