Default Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anything ?

Everytime I see the clear sight fuel filter I am reminded of a ride I took with my wife on out way back home from college.

I put one of these on my wife's 1971 340 Duster at the time because it looked cool. My pop told me to get it off because they leak. I didn't listen.

My wife and I had ben arguing and the car was quiet. We were climing Nittany Mountain and my wife (girlfriend at the time)was pushing the car rather hard- 100+ MPH up the mountain. I noticed the car breaking up a little and softly asked her to pull over. She replied sharply- DO I HAVE TO! I sarcastically remarked that she didn't have to do anything.

Well by the time we crested the mountain fuel was actually finding its way into the interior of the car. I made my wife aware of this and she decided to pull over. With the car parked, I couldn't find where the feul was leaking from. Soon as she fired the motor up I knew! The fuel was spraying out of the seam where the metal meets the glass and was being sprayed back by the fan! What a mess!

Well, I found a John Deer store and got a fuel filter and an air cleaner and made them work for the ride home. Got home and my pop reminded me how I never should have been running the filter.

Cool packaging, but I'll never own one again
