Hey Jeanie -
I applaud your desire to keep your truck "original." Congrats on the new gas filter and air filter.
You will probably need to replace the gasket between the bowl and the body of your glass bowl fuel filter, especially if it is cork. When they dry out, they shrivel up like a corn flake and will never flatten out again.

By the way - since you have all of those 216's, maybe you could use them like Tommy Ivo used Buick nailheads!
