[FWDLK] 392 "ealy hemi" parts

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phillipe,

I am not familiar with this seller, but he seems to have good feedback.

These Hemi plug wires seem to be OK, but be aware of some issues:
1.      8mm wires are larger than the original 7mm factory wires. This could be a
problem if you use factory wire guides and the wire cover on the hemi valve
cover.
2.      The plastic sleeve over the plug boot may be a little long for use under
the wire covers. These can be shortened as required.
3.      The rubber boot over the plug is common on all plug wires, except the
Hemi factory originals. With the deep holes the wires go into, you cannot
grip the boot to unplug the wire. The boots will stick to the plug and the
only way to remove them is to pull on the wire. This may result in the wires
pulling out of the terminal and boot, like mine did.

There are other sellers of spin-on oil filter adapters. Hot Heads has some
nice ones and one retains the stock angle for the filter.

The special bypass valve is required to make all the oil pass through the
filter. A positive idea for all applications. Also available from Hot Heads.
The factory bypass valve allowed some oil to bypass around the filter in
case it was plugged with dirt, or to provide lubrication at cold start-up
when using a thick straight weight oil. Modern low residue, high detergent,
multi-viscosity oils should no longer require a bypass.

Hi,
While browsing on ebay i found some stuff for the owners of "early hemi"
(331-354-392). I found these items sold by "hirpmauctions"  (it's the ebay
pseudo). Someone knows this seller ?

I'm also interesting in the "oil filter adapter" (90° relocation +
easy-to-find filters ..). But the seller tells " It must be used with a
special bypass valve (I sell them too) to force all oil through the filter"
Correct ? Itsn't for "street performances" ..
Thanks
