Lube order

It's easy to be stupid when you're spending someone else's money. You could buy a house for 32k in 1984.

$23,000 for a cucv?:oops:

I believe it does. That's what I plan on using.

I don't have to worry about the cold too much down here. Definitely not snow. Either way. Maybe an inline between the spin on filter & the IP would be better. Or do I need to be running 2 spin ons?

This looks like it might be the ticket. Alot cheaper that FM100 base.

Any particular year?

Huh..... I didn't know that. I wonder how many people that do the spin on upgrade actually run 2 filters. The 1st thing that comes to mind for a 2 filter setup is to run a 5 micron spin on filter on the firewall & a larger micron inline filter on the frame rail down near the tank. Seem like the...

No. I was only planning on running 1 filter. That's all that's on there now. Correct?

I'm looking hard at the Wix fm100 base. It has a bleed screw & the hand primer can be added later if need be. I believe it also has the ability to add a heater. I'm in SC so I don't think I need the heater. There's not one on it now cause it was leaking & I pulled the heater out & stuck a...

I'm sure that would work great. Honestly I thought about putting a primer ball inline like you would on a boat motor.

I know there's 1000 post about the spin on fuel filter upgrade but I have a couple questions. I'm looking at filter bases & some have bleed screws & some don't. Some even have fancy little pumps on em. Question is do I really need a bleed screw or can I just put fuel in the filter before I...

Well, Barrman nailed it! A little bit of bleeding & she's off & running. I really appreciate everyone that took the time to respond to this post. Yall saved me from spending a pile of money on an IP I didn't need. Lessons learned. Just cause there's fuel in the filter dosen't mean there's...

Well that's interesting. It's pretty hilly in my area. Sounds like a real possibility. It would be awesome if all I gota do is bleed the IP instead of replacing it.

Will it bust off on WD40? That would save me a trip to the store. I already got that on hand.
