Hi!
Kit was taken off by Martha Vineyard Police Dept. I have it all in shed. I
hooked vac to air bleed valve on filter. If you really want to buy it, I
paid $4500. It was a good deal until the problems. Now, from what I hear
they gave up on it and sold it(to me). This really sucks. I have $1400
into it so far, before the transmission rebuild. I figure what good is a
great transmission if you can't start the truck.
