I tried soaking the ceramic in thinner and back blowing it. Still no good. I'm thinking along the lines of a brass or copper stranded wadding as an element perhaps captured in a fine screen shaped like the ceramic. The wadding could be a one of those pot scrubbers.
OR a stack of thin brass disks with holes in them like were used back in the 30's, 40'and early 50's in some filter applications. Anything. We ought to be able to come up with SOMETHINg to replace the ceramic. I'm wondering if the Ford filter in the pic above could be cut open and the paper element inside used.

CLearing sand from the windshield???

Mr PB. WHERE did u get that picture !!! ??? That's ME on the rite in front of the house with my girl friends brother and i don't remember her snapping the picture.

Well guys uship worked out pretty well they will be picking up my engine tomorrow and have it at Harts Machine Service tomorrow Afternoon. All for $130. It would of cost me about that much in gas if I had to run it out there. :)

I should have recorded my tranny number. It is Bxxxx right after the "star". Next time I'm up on the rack, I'll use the mirror I normally admire myself in.
