Bendigo Swap find

[Jacques Reed]

Just got back from the Automotive Surplus second relocation sale.
Picked up a nice NOS fuel filter assembly for $10. See attached.

Not going to use the disc filter but thought I would post what a new original one looks like for general information. I bought it mainly for the clean rust-free bowl. Even my best one has a few pits in it from years of moisture.

Maybe it is not 100% kosher, but I won't paint the outside of the bowl either. It would be a sacrilage to cover over the AC decal details.

Also bought two flathead Ford head gaskets also for $30. My engine is a later C69A block with the round water pasages in the centre. Again, another trap for young players as earlier blocks had the "square" (trapezoidal) openings as shown in the comparison. I bought the "square" ones in my young, foolish restoration days- now I am not so young anymore! Hope you all find this interesting.

Cheers
