Anyone, no one has them in stock and autozone type places don't carry them. I can have it ordered in a week and I can't wait that long. Call me impatient.

 

i had one on my formula when i first bought it. pissed so much oil so i just took it off.

is this what your talking about. If so we keep them in the warehouse.

 

I have a stock one from an 86 L69 and an offset one from a 92 Vette LT1.

 

Where you at Jmd?

Got one from Checker today for $23. Better than the dealerships $53. Thanks anyway JMD.

 

is it running yet?

 

You were smart to get a new one. It's probably rare but the by-pass spring in my used unit broke allowing the spring, retainer plate and unfiltered oil to pass through my engine. I had about $2400 in that rebuild and it was junk in about a day. If anyone uses a used one, I would eliminate the by-pass spring and retainer plate. Thread it for a plug. Now your oil will always be forced through your oil filter. The burst pressure will be high when the motor is cold but that pressure can easily be handled by a K&N filter.

 

That sucks man! I heard of doing that mod to protect your engine like you said you have to run a performance filter like a K&N, you can run a Royal Purple filter also.

 

Pretty much any oil filter with a high burst pressure rating and a good flowing filter will work. It doesn't hurt when you do this modification to run a quality thin viscosity synthetic oil. I like Mobile 1 5/30. Attached is the modification...before and after.
