I just bought a used 73 mm C&L mass air meter. I was told that it has a 24lb. sample tube and would like to double check before I put it on the motor, is there anyway to do this? Thanks.

the 30# calibration for a 73mm is RED, not sure what the 24# is, contact C&L

The color was on the flat side of the tube if you look into the meter you should see it...

Cool I will have to look when I get home, I am at my dorm and the meter is at home, thanks guys! But I will be able to tell what color it is without removing the tube from the meter?

The 24# tube has a smaller inside dia. on the front flat part of the tube, it is a step. The id should be 0.547" and the larger end is 0.658". I couldn't see any blue on mine.

The 19# tube has a straight through hole and no step.
