Could you guys take a look at it and tell me if you think that's correct. I have never seen one with the type of attachment before. If it is correct, does anyone know what color(s) it should be? Any and all input will be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2637172180100355167hGSbTp | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | That is most definitely an oddball mounting arrangement Jeff. I've never seen one like that on any GM. Of course, I haven't been around as much as some of the guys here, so hopefully someone can ID it. The canister sure looks like an AC.

But since there were many manufacturers for these filter systems,I don't think the clamp style should matter. As to color,I've seen so many colors on this site and up close and personal that it could just about be the "one" you like the most.

Maybe it's an industrial filter? Perhaps for some sort of construction or ag application.
