I'm not even sure what I'm looking at in this pic, but it sure caught my eye at a recent car show!
For the experts out there, what parts and mods can you pick out and name?

Looks like a Franz (toilet paper) oil filter right.
And a  9, It should have a 010. _________________ Glenn

Im curious what the thing is with the small belt running to it _________________ "how am i supposed to torque the rear wheel nut to 250 ft lbs??? " - clonebug
