Re: old < new

What do I like or whats more functional? Definetly pic 2 I like more, however I don't think the ac will work with the taller valve covers and the original pic 1 looks like a smogged motor ready to pass emissions. For me living in a place that requires emission testing i cannot have my cake and eat it to. So though I know that I like 2, I'd have to go with pic 1.

Rhetorical question?

Re: old < new

Where'd the a/c stuff go?? Definately looks less cluttered without it, but certainly not as comfortable.

Cool. Know the part number?

I bought a nice 1 quart racer style unit. I was planning to bolt to a bracket. HMMMMM, but the stock bottle looks good.

Tank 15531514 Lists for 19.67
Cap 15630112 Lists for 9.50. This one comes in a package of 5, so you'll want to find a dealer that will get you just one.
