From a recent shoot for it's 40th "birthday".

Had a slipping/screeching a/c clutch on my 95 Chevy G20, figured out the clutch cycling pressure switch wasn't delivering full power to the magnetic coil. I installed a new switch, luckily it screws into a schrader valve, so there's no need to drain the system, I also replaced the o-ring. Now...

Dropped the gas tank on my 85 RX-7, the fuel strainer wasn't clogged but had some tears. The original is discontinued so I replaced it with a fuel sock for a first gen Mustang.

My first filter c&p is this Super Tech MP9688. It came off my 1985 RX-7 12a rotary after 8 months and 1,106 miles, running Super Tech 20W50 conventional. A shorter run but I had just resealed a few oil leaks and wanted to change it. Replaced with an OEM Mazda filter. For some reason only the ST...

Not sure if it's ever been changed so I'd like to.
