Clois,
I don't know if you noticed, but I started this thread 3 years ago. I may not have the neatest garage, but I have taken the trash with the old
oil filters out once or twice since then. The engine also has about 12K additional miles.
However...you've piqued my curiousity. I'm due for an
oil change and a huge mess. Maybe I'll cut the filter up just to see. Thanks for the advice.
Tony, switching to the Holley didn't totally fix the rich condition on my car, but I think it's just a matter of some addtional tweaking on the jets and power valve. Initial tweaking greatly improved the way the car ran.
