    Odd find at my grandfathers estate. tu-flo501 compressors.

    Any one know of a good place to post these to reach the people that know what they are. I know EBay but I cancelled my account and refuse to go back there. Any other options?

    Only bad part of the IDI is the packaging.. Sorry all I am die hard GM but cant argue with the International 7.3 IDI. Built like a tank. Cheap and easy to work on. Parts are super cheap. Decent power is attainable. Got nothing bad to say about the Navistar. powerstroke- too expensive for...
