Kent Moore Gauge with Bleeder

[jbplock]

Before changing my OE and Stanadyne Pre-Filters yesterday I wanted to pump out some clean fuel to pre-fill the new filters so I added a tee and needle valve to the Kent-Moore gauge.

Using the added needle valve and lift pump allowed the use of clean fuel to pre-fill the new filters before installing them. This made bleeding the new filters quick and easy too. I also checked for water in all three filters (Stanadyne, OE, Mega) and only the Stanadyne LP pre-filter had a trace of water and a little dirt (see pitcture (http://community.webshots.com/photo/83846161/95466842SonIML) ). I'll post some pics of the filters once they are opened up. I'm anxious to see what the Stanadyne looks like with 7kmiles on it.

DmaxDave,

Here is the part# from the gauge I used:

GM Vacuum gauge J44638

IIRC, it listed for around $200 :eek: - and did not include the jbplock options :D If it did, it would be $400... ;)

Kennedy was putting together a less expensive version - he'll need to give us an update.
