You know what Bob, I been looking at this everywhich way, and for the life of me, I can't figure out which is the handsome one.

Use a K & N filter for any big block application. They hold a full quart.

The PF-1218 was developed around 1990 for the Corvette ZR1, 32-valve engine. The internal valve is not for increasing pressure but it is an anti-flowback device to prevent oil leaks when it is removed. Keep in mind the filter was mounted horizontally on the ZR1. It is now used as a replacement for the PF-35 although that unit is still available in Canada. As is the smaller PF-25. I use the 35.

The PF-454 was initially used on the 8.1L GMC gasoline truck engine but it seems to have taken on a new life as a replacement for the PF-25. I have seen filters blow on the GMC diesel DuraMax motor as they operate under high pressures and require a special filter that many lube shops will not stock. It not pretty to see about 13 liters of 15W-40 blown about.

As to capacity, I do not know. With my 327/300 I use the PF-35 and exactly 5 liters of oil. That is slightly more (by a bit) than 5 US quarts.

Just got done having my 427 engine rebuilt. The rebuilder (he dose all high performance stuff and a lot of engines for the local racers) highly recommend Fram's HP line of racing filters. Not to be confused with they're junk passenger filters. They have the anti-drainback valve and are suppose to flow a high volume. Something about them filtering a higher percentage of oil, more oil actually makes it though the filter as opposed to it being bypassed. Hope I got that right, he was spewing a LOT of information my way that day. They cost about $10 a pop but it's not like you change it but more than once a year anyway. Just something else to think about.

Yeah.........But the guy on yhe right is Ckutchen that thing that looks like a stick....kinda tight ...:L


Heh Bob ..Subject change...... What is the final base timing less Vacuume advance you used on the Heaven??

 

[67HEAVEN]

Heh Bob ..Subject change...... What is the final base timing less Vacuume advance you used on the Heaven??

8° BTDC @ 800 RPM, 36° Total @ 5,000 RPM
Spark Timing: (Disconnected) 36° at 3600 rpm with Distributor Vacuum

 

[stepinwolf]

Better quality maby

Here is what I am ordering for my own big block. It is from K & N and is a direct replacement for the PF35, and is of a much higher quality. Check out the site for tech specs,,,

Cool... The Manual says....10*BTDC ......And what do you mean "Spark Timing: (Disconnected) 36° at 3600 rpm with Distributor Vacuum"

Are you saying your Vacuume is off @ 3600rpm?? And are you are using the full manifold vacuume port on the Holley..for the Can as compared to the Timed port...??


And.....Where did you find the "Degree" Mark On your Keyboard....???? Mine only has the " * " instead of the little "o" . Neat-:L o.....Is that like a special techy key board you have their?

Mark

you mean like this?
38°

 

[67AirCoupe]

Or this 10°?

You mean your keyboard doesn't have a degree key?

VNV here's the secret to the missing °

Keyboards are different from one PC to another, however one thing they all have in common, is the ability to generate identical ASCII codes, ( pronounced "ask-kee" ).

If your keyboard doesn't happen to have the little ( ° ), then to reproduce it all you have to do is learn a few keystrokes. To generate these codes you must do the following in this exact order.

#1 Press and hold down the "alt" key

#2 Using only the numerical keypad on the right side of the keyboard, enter the three digit code for the character you wish to generate. in this case it's 248

#3 Then release the " alt" key, and the character ( ° ) will magically appear

You can also get a slightly larger little "°", by using the 167 code. Look at them both side by side ° º, isn't this tech stuff great,

The complete list of all the special characters your keyboard can generate can be found by linking to the following site.

How does that grab you

on our Mac computers it's even easier - no need to remember codes. There is a drop down menu and just choose the special character you want from the palette and double click it and BOOM, you have it.

You got that right Barry, but the majority of users are on the IBM type machines, and with the large assortment of manufacturers, the keyboards can't help but be different. :confused

Personally I use about a dozen different codes ( being in Québec with the French shît ) and once memorized, I'll bet you I can bang them out faster then you can access them with your mac, using your drop down menu's.

P.S. Notice how I sneaked in the special î, so that the " Foul Language Zar ", would miss it. Send me 5$ and I will tell you the special code.

Nah...the 248 no work..EEE

It flips me back to the posted page...:confused

Bob
you are completely right, the vast majority of people are on PC's (windows) rather than Macs.
On Macs you can just punch in a 2 or 3 key code also if you know the commands but except for a few special characters that I use often I don't remember any of the other codes so have to go to the menu...........

 

[stepinwolf]

Woooppppsssss

VNV,

I'm not one to argue the point, but if you followed the " exact procedure " and were not able to generate the caracter, I believe you have the only computer in the world that can't do it. :ugh

Ok...Here's the Deal.... If I am typing in Outlook express (An Email) and I do you your...ALT DOWN Type 248 Using the Right hand Numerical keys ..Release Alt Key... I will get the litte Degree indication.

But... When I am in the Post Reply Screen on the Forum and do it ...It bounces me back out of post reply to the orignal post..... The moment I hit the 4 in 248.

Rittle Me That One Bat Man..????:L
