Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Prime-Locs still around?

I couldn't find the fuel filter relocation kit from Prime-Loc on Genos site. Is it still around, pro's/con's? I just bought a 95 and that fuel filter is in one bad spot for changing.

No longer being made. The company that made them is still around, but they didn't feel the market was big enough to continue mfg. of them. Would have to find a used one, or if you get lucky and find a new one one on a shelf somewhere.



I thought about getting one at one time, but it really isn't to bad for me. Since you have a regular vac. booster and not the Hydrabooster as I do, it is probably worse.

I bought a used one from the TDR classifieds. Had a little trouble with a leak (I think it was old "o" rings) but finally took the filter head and the adapter off the engine and tightened it. Works good now, filter changing is a breeze (and it looks good too). Try an ad in the classified section if you don't find one here. I talked to Geno's and to another person when I was looking for parts and everyone said same thing--not being made and if lucky find one on someone's shelf. If I ever have a leak again I will probably try a speciality store for "o" rings.

Hi again, just remembered something. When I was working of Prime-Loc, I would unbolt master cyl from the booster and gently pull it over to the left fender while the brake lines were still connected. That gave me some more room for my clumsy hands.
