This is also a repro, but is correctly manufactured. Note markings on the can. The bogus one had no markings.

other end.
The return line was not orificed correctly. I soldered it closed and drilled a 0.040" hole- somewhat smaller than the factory size of approx. 0.060"

There are some bogus repro separators out there. I got one and could not figure out why the car would not start. Found that there was no orifice restriction in the return line and the fuel was going straight back to the tank and none going to the carbs
I cut it open to look inside. Surprise!! It was simply 3 tubes stuck into the can and there was no filter screen at all.
I see it IS a filter....just look at all of the metal shavings it captured

So ..... Who makes the better / best reproduction Vapor Separator vs the "junk" ones ?

I got mine from Bill Allphin at the time. I suspect Bill Rolik will have the correct ones.
We carry them as well, although I am out of stock at the moment. Should have some soon.
