Thanks Ramcharger. I was seriously thinking of the old style steel filter sleeve with the cartridge inside- kinda like the old diesel kind. . .or one of the old style tractor filter with the glass catcher and bale. Neither would look very pretty. Also running the notion of a sump valve like in the low side of airplane wing tanks. . .a pretty picture as well. Not. The marine engine guys are counseling a 2 micron filter and replace every 25 hours. . .this from Yamaha outboards announcement. . .
I got good Shell this morning in a can to get her started. Appears to be running okay, but a little hesitation and just a hint of miss at just-off-idle throttle. Am retarding the ignition timing a bit and readjusting the mixture- will see. Be a hell of a note if I have to run a stock compression slant 6 on 93 octane Shell just to be able to enjoy it and not have it be an iffy proposition driving it from town to town on the highway.
I am gonna talk to Slant 6 Dan about seals to take alcohol immersion in the carb- I already am using the alcohol tolerant EFI fuel line and the mod to avoid vapor lock. . .
Wish me luck. Sucks to see Mopar Power of whatever level on the side of the road. . .or coughing and wheezing like an asthmatic. . .
