Re: My last Trivia

Roy, Since this is your "last" trivia I want to point out that I have seen a few early 57 FI filter tops with 56 cast on them. Enjoy your retirement. John

Re: My last Trivia

Roy, GRRRREAT information. Keep 'em coming. Notice the FI lid has 6 ticks on the cast date. Always thought those indicated calendar months? Do you know for sure what the ticks/slash marks around the circle meant? Appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Regards, Gary....

Re: 56 dated FI fuel filter assembly

Joe, That's sure a pristine example of a 56 dated filter top. You don't see very many of those for sure. Especially in that condition. Thanks, John

John

The outside top of the lid looks like a typical aged engine part with normal road grime..but the underside looks perfect.

This is from a January 57 engine.
