Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anything ?
Years ago a Kid I worked with had one of those glass screw together filters on a 62 Impala. It unscrewed and caught on fire.....

Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anythi
When you consider the fly-a-part flex-a-lite fans, the fire trap glass fuel filters, EZ ignite fly eye air cleaners, and top all that off with a quick burnin 'glass hood it's a wonder we have any original Motion cars with us today. I'm thinking maybe the console mounted fire extinguisher should have been a more popular Phase III add on.

Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anythi
Still have my original glass fuel filter (manufactured by Alondra inc. Los Angeles Calif) on the car. They were rated for 10 psi. so you had to check your fuel pressure. Purolator offers that same gas filter, at least as of a few years ago,(still by Alondra inc. Los Angeles Calif.)I always had my fire extinguisher close by ,especially after the F.D. and P.D. raided 1st ave during after hours racing and was one of the many cars that recieved a summons for parking a vehicle within 50ft. of a wooden dock without a fire extinguisher in the vehicle.

Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anythi
I wonder if your car would gain any HP if you replaced that original fuel filter. Then again, there is probably some value on that vintage dirt

Re: NOS Motion Part /any idea if it's worth anythi
I think everybody is just having a bit of fun with the concept. You have something that is interesting and if you would put it on E-bay you will find out just how valuable it is to someone. There are some collectors of Motion goodies that will want it.
The problem with motion parts is that not many were labeled so there is no way you will get a answer till you put it up for auction.
