It's a bit difficult for my old eyes to read the numbers but I can see the last digits--- 70. As you can see the five gp's on the bottom of pic are swollen; that's 5-out-of 8. Lousy performance if you ask me.

Anyway, the reason I post this is because on the DieselPage site they recommend nothing but AC-60G's or another brand by Kennedy Diesel. I'm afraid that the old Wellmans' won't ever be put in my rigs again.

Meanwhile, I've replaced these Wellmans' w/AC60G's and after 5 secs of gp-time, this engine now fires-off as soon as I touch the ignition key--- LESS THAN 2 seconds!
