I changed out my fuel filter.
It was a fairly easy job. Just pinched off the
line and removed the filter.
One thing I learned here was to write the date and mileage
on the new filter with a marks a lot.

I did open up the fuel filter and look at it.
It looked very clean to me. The PO did say it
was a new fuel tank so maybe they used a new filter.

I think the other filter might have been old because I blew through it
and it had some back pressure. I don't know how much
is normal.
I did the fuel filter because I am installing all new fuel injectors
and they recommend the new filter before installing.

This is my new setup!

You bought that entire thing? Wow very impressive. Since you and I have basically the same car, would you mind telling me what you paid for it? It is my intention to eventually change out much of the older parts including the engine parts, within reason of course. Thanks!

I bought the intake manifold for 10 dollars.
The fuel rail for 7 dollars.
I bought the new fuel injectors for 250.
2 cans of paint 9 dollars.
The look? PRICELESS!

I paid 5500 for the car.

I am redoing most everything on this car.

It's a money pit but it's MY money pit :buttrock
