"Sold as is and without knowledge"

[G B.]

The eBay seller mollyputts4u is back auctioning a Ford fuel filter canister as a Corvette part. He/she always inserts the same weasel words to dodge criticism about misdescribing the filter. Buyers beware.

Early Corvette fuel injection fuel filter canisters have 5/16" fittings, not the 3/8" (Ford) size.

Heh heh, you have a hurricane coming through

your back door and you're messing with E-bay? Gutsy!

Serenity Now.

Give me the sense to know the difference between changing the wall thermostat setting and changing the path of a hurricane. I can only do one of them, sometimes.

Thanks Jerry!

Through prior emailings with Jerry, I was lucky enough to have an early warning about that item/seller. I did ask the seller about the fittings and his "cya" reply was "was told 3/8". Looks like someone else asked him the same question so he finally added the answer to the description. Hopefully it wasn't a vette owner who wasted his $$$ winning the auction.

By the way, I'm still searching for an authentic (5/8 fitting) filter for my 61 unrestored fuelie if anyone has a line on one.

Thanks.

Jerry, hopefully you were spared any major damage. Thanks again for the warning.

I think it went for $152.00

Too bad and the high bidder didn't even get the reducer fittings with it.
