If you have a V8 all you need is the parts from a 68 or so and up to convert to a spin on and there is companies that make relocating kits for popular V8s. Jeff | | |

If so you might want to look at one and see if they have a part that makes them accept a spin on like a chevy V8. The chevy V8s went to a spin on around 68,the GMC V6s might have too. Jeff | | |

Thanks again

You might want to try their websites. If I remember correctly, there are links to both pages on the "links" page here. | | |

Prior to changing to spin on adapter I used to change the gasket every other time but never had leakage problems. Might the top of your cannister be bent or warped? Or is the leak at the bottom?

#38117 05/31/2003 3:18 AM | Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 12 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 12 | yeah, I remove the gasket, and clean the surface. I guess it's possible that the darn thing is warped, but I really don't think so. As far as jegs and summit, they have em for v-8s all day long but not (listed anyway) for the v-6. I guess I'll call and see.
Thanks for all the thought guys. I'll keep ya posted.
