			 I recently picked up a 'previously owned' steel tuna can, but all I got was the can and bolt. Does anyone have a copy of the installation instructions or info on extending the pick-up tube, gaskets or seals needed ... and can tell me if the strainer relocates down to the bottom of the 'can'?

Cheers, Neil I bought both of these from Neil some time back, and I can vouch for the fine craftsmanship of both pieces. Very easy to install, and I have never seen the oil light go on. You will noticed the billet "taco plate" is even recessed so that air flowing under the car does not skew the readings from the sender. He shipped both extremely quickly and for a nominal fee - I definitely recommend you all do business with him.  |
