I was looking at a K&N filter/fire arrestor for a '85 2001 with the ford engine and a holley carb. Has anyone done one of these and which part # is best?
K&N part #'s 59-3264 9" around 3 3/4" high 59-3364 9" around 4 1/2" high 59-3370 9" around 6 3/4 high ------------- rhschnauss |

I think the only one you stand a chance at fitting under your motorbox is the shortest one. The K&N's look nice, but dont expect them to add any performance- flame arrestors in general are not very restrictive. Id save your money. ------------- |

Roy, Is the water you boat on real dusty? Just wondering why you are looking at a filter instead of just a plain flame arrestor. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

the belts produce some dust that gets on the engine and was covering the flame arrestor. ------------- rhschnauss |

Replace the belts with high quality, adjust them to the proper tension and the belt dust will virtually leave. boat dr

I actually switched to napa premium belts last season and noticed that they dont burn up quick like the pcm belts. ------------- rhschnauss |

NAPA belts are made by Goodyear and are hard to beat. ------------- 95 Malibu Echelon w/Mercruiser 350 Magnum Skier Former boats: 88 Ski Centurion Tru Trac II 59 Chris Craft Capri (woody) |

I've noticed this continous wear and dust of my pcm belts as well and would like to replace them with better ones. Is there something like a "all-belts-for-a-standard-pcm-ford-351"-kit from napa? or which napa belts would i need?

I'd like to add to the Doc's comment on belt tension. Check the sheave alignment as well as the tension. Yes, there should be virtually no dust. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
