I can't find a fuel filter. Unless it's underneath the motor. What kind of filter did they use? (Oh, the engine is actually a 1947 235). Eight years ago, one of the junkyards had a '37 or '38 truck in it. I hope it's still there.
Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,773 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,773 | The most commonly used fuel filter was a diecast aluminum piece with a fine-mesh screen and a glass sediment bowl, sometimes with a ceramic insert, that was installed at the carburetor inlet. Some fuel pumps had a similar setup incorporated into the pump assembly.
They're pretty commonly found on the auction sites. I'd post a pic, but links to them last about 30 seconds on average around here, for some reason.

Maybe I'll hit pay dirt and find one in the junkyard. If not, I'll keep my eyes open for a nice one on those other sites. | | |
