The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop fuel filter for 59 (235 )six

Hello guys , So I ordered a fuel filter for my glass bowl , from chevy truck vendor ??? Will not fit ? to big ! So who has this filter for sale ? ( glass bowl has Carter ID
on top of housing no part # your 2 cents is appreciated , Thanks

Orielly's had it, WIX filter.

Thanks But the one they have is not the type that is made just for the glass bowl ? or is it ? I do not have a filter in mine now ,( I do not know what it looks like ) ?
I wish I could show you a picture , ? way to difficult to get a pic on here ?



I love this site , could be so much better if they would let us down load pictures ? Thanks

I used to have the box the filter came in, but tossed it away last summer.

I searched the WIX site, wixfilters.com and found this: P/N 33034 It's for the filter bowl. It's under the heading of 1959 Bel Air with 283 engine. I'm pretty sure the bowl on the 6 and 8 was the same.

American Classic Truck Parts has the bowl assembly w/filter.

NAPA 3943 may work. Best bet, if possible, take filter to store. NAPA filter is 1.88" high, outside diameter 1.39" includes gasket.

Thanks guys , NOPE , none fit ? after a internet search my carter fuel filter takes a ceramic fuel filter with a spring , volvo -penta part # 3855104 ? this is a very short filter , so now I gotta find one ?
All the truck vendors sell a filter ,( But IT"s for a tall glass bowl ) ? live and learn Thanks guys

Hey Old, is the bowl assembly you have original equip? It doesn't sound like it is. From what I know, the filters were paper type like the P/N's we gave. Why not change the filer bowl asseblywith one that accepts the filers we gave you? I think it would be cheaper in the long run. Or you can do what many have done, remove the assembly all together and run a inline filter close to where the bowl would be. Again, cheaper in the long run.

The NAPA filter I mentioned above is a replacement for a ceramic element. But if you checked the dimensions against what you need and that's not it. The WIX filter website has a link to look up filters by dimension. wixfilters.com

Thanks guys I will let you know SOON Thanks again

There's a yard near me that has some TF trucks that still have the fuel bowl on the engine. Next time I go there I can take one off and measure the filter for you.

I got mine on ebay.
