    Fire Power rebuild...

    Lets Talk Brakes Lines!

    Oh yes, Definetly buy a flaring kit. You wont go wrong. The satisfaction you will get out of flaring your own lines, and ending them professionally where you want them to go, is well worth the price of the kit.

    Can an oil filter work on it's side ?

    Ive got a slant six in one of my other cars, and that filter is upside down. I believe many filters have an anti- drain back valve built in them. Think you could check wix, fram, ac delco sites, probably get some good info from the manufacturer.
