Speaking of suburbans, has anyone looked at replacing the stock stanadyne model 80 sieve (on an 86 6.2L oil burner) with a FM 100 like is on the 6.5L turbos?
It looks like a little wiring harness adaptation (WIF sensor and fuel heater lines), bracket fabrication, and placing a water drain valve. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
