??? ref. Filter Housing
This post ref's: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...&id=1545024642
I tried 2 applications of JB Weld and both times it came apart when I tightened down the filter lid.
I ended up using my dremel to cut a piece of sheet metal and attached it to the filter housing. However, the filter does not appear to completely seal now; so, this is going to have to be temporary.
My new question is: should I get a new housing from vette2vette delivered for $65 or a used one from a local yard (High Performance Salvage) for $50. I can pick up the used one at my liesure; however it is a bit out of the way.
I e-mailed the guy from High Performance Salvage to try and get him to come down on the price, because I'm local and own two (C4 & F-Body) of the cars he specializes in (future business).
Thanks for any advice,
Dave
