Catalina 320 Tacoma
Hello!
I just bought a 1993 Catalina 320 and have some questions about the Perama M30 engine;
  1. I have not been able to find a zinc in the heat exchanger/cooling system. Is there one? Where?
  2. Can someone tell me what secondary fuel filter to use? I can make out "Napa 3386" on the existing filter, but what make/model do others use? My primary is a Racor 220 series and I'm using the 10 micron element.
  3. Same issue with the oil filter. I can make out "1348" on the filter but don't know make/model.
Thanks for any info.

Check out Perkins Pacific ( http://www.perkinspacific.com/Dealer.aspx ).
They are the Perkins distributor. Many of our engines are used in the trucking industry. The Kent site was very helpful. Got me a replacement fuel filter bracket when mine wore out.
Should be able to tell you the part numbers for the filters. Then you can source at Napa if you desire.
I think the Heat exchanger is an after market item. I would look for a manufacture on the heat exchanger.
