Ahhh - the long-lost video - Thanks, Nick!
Don, I know that Mel up at C&S stocks the Wix racing filters, and they've got the PH8A equivalent there.
Upon examination, I'm going to take the full blame on this failure for two reasons.
A - I cheaped out on the fittings - should have used a name brand - and I know better than this, but was getting penny-wise and pound-foolish.
B - I remember putting the hoses together and kinda sensing that when I was tightening them up to the hose, something didn't feel the same as when I was cinching up the Aeroquip fittings for the Midget. It was one of those moments when you go, "Hmmm . . . well it is a different brand, it's not a race piece, but it'll be fine for a street car".
So that $30.00 I saved, divided by the time it's going to take to rip the front end apart, clean up and fix this mess, brings my hourly wage for this project to about $2.25 an hour, which is about what I was making at Hardees when I was in High School, and leaves my shoes and clothes equally covered in grease and oil.
Plus I've got to fork over for new fittings and oil lines.
The hellofitall is that I know better - I just forget to remember.
