Re: Fuel Filter
Just run with original brass filters if you are running the original carb.
The carb is designed to let crap run through it. To be honest, the original brass screens did a great job on my 30 fordor.
The tank would clog the outlet valve when the stuff settled out. So I put in a short piece of copper tubing in the valve to prevent stuff from getting in the valve. I put in a glass sediment bowl just so I could see what was coming out. I then just drove the car. I had to empty a lot of junk out of the bowl at first. Pretty quickly the amount of junk in the bowl became minimal. I monitored the original carb, got to love the single bolt tear down. Never found any stuff in the carb or in the carb filter.
Speaking of original filters, I am looking for a nice original glass bowl filter screen for my cabriolet.
