Re: [T3] Those with Gene Berg full-flow kit - Question

["Joe Plowick III" <type3lvr@ij.net>]

Thanks for the info.  The way that it is setup now, appears that it will
just clear the fan housing.  I also don't have to worry about the rear bar
since this is for a '67 which doesn't have one.  As for the filter assembly,
mine has little arrows as to which way the fluid moves.  I don't think that
should be too tough. :)
