2 of these http://www.fleetfilter.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/24770.jpg

and a couple of these...http://www.fleetfilter.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/33005.jpg


Now if it would just stop raining this weekend I'll get the old girl running again!

I got the pump and harness from Leroy Diesel (http://leroydiesel.com/), he filters and bases from Fleet Filter (http://www.fleetfilter.com/filters/wix-diesel-filters.html).

I have a freshly rebuilt i.p. and a set of 6.5 injectors, along with a Banks Sidewinder kit I scored for a grand, so maybe I can get her breathing a bit better.:)

Make sure the final filter is of sufficient micron rating. Some of the canister ones are not. The prefilter is not so critical as the lift pump is a little more forgiving than the IP.

A 2 micron final before the fuel hits the IP is a good thing.

A 5 micron or even a 10 is OK for the prefilter
