Re: [alfa] GTV6-replacement for in-tank filter

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

Is the GTV-6 in-tank filter anything like the one on a Bosch Spider?  I ask 
because NAPA has a replacement for the Spider filter, which is a Delco 
TS-7.  There's also a rebuild kit for the in-tank pump, which is a Delco 
EP-254.  BTW, to give credit where it's due, Russ Neely posted those part 
numbers about a year and a half ago.

Regards,
