Rabin, I ended up rebuilding the Purflux factory fuel filtering system. Proven to me that it does the job quite well. Did replace all the vacuum hoses and rid of all the egr. stuff that didn't work anyway. Less cluter. Considering a different approach to air filtering than the factory oil bath unit. Another factory plus unit but it takes up a lot of room where I plan to mount a electric vacuum pump in that area.

Nothing new to report other than we've racked up a 1k. miles on it since January. Mainly all city, hilly terrain and doing well at 30 mpg.

Almost forgot to keep this thread alive! So what's been happening here?

A few things, the front seat belts had lost their ability to retract so replacements were given from Thomas to install. There from a series II which have the sea belt clip retained from sliding down the belt and are easier to reach at shoulder level.

The car received my wheel and tire package. Late model wheels with Michelin Primacy's MXV4 205/60HR15

These make for a better quality ride and are long lasting!

Headlamps have been upgraded to Hella H4 E1 flat lamps with 145/60 watt bulbs. I've had these on a previous 505 for years and make for a vast improvement.

Will get some photos posted soon:)
