What is that dual cav filter head?

When I first bought that cav unit about 15-20yrs ago it had the filters with glass bowls and an o-ring top and bottom which would occasionally cause leaks,etc so I kept the unit and found the conversion kit to allow a spin on filter to be used.Its a great conversion.

The glow plug relay. Looks. Same as 6.2/6.5 early years. Is it the same or did you just use a 6.5 on there?

Lucky To Be Here
Back in 80s my Dads brother had one of those Olds diesel cars it was blue in color. He was a truck driver for years, then he started his own truck sales business. He also liked diesels so he had to have him a diesel car. I can remember hearing that car run, I thought it was so cool to hear it. I can't recall him having any major issues with it, I really wouldn't know for sure because he lived about 300 miles away.

I had one and knew several people that had them. On the old diesel it was common to hear of people getting 30+ mpg
