where is my fuel filter?
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:32:23 am »
I crawled under my car to replace the filter. I looked to where it should be. I saw 2 hoses connected to a huge foam thing. Is my filter inside that foam thing?

I can see one by the carb, and if that's it the guy sold me the wrong part. I can't see one under the car by the fuel tank at all

FYI - 5.9 is not a GM or stock engine.  Did you mean 5.7 aka 350?  Most factory F-Body fuel filters are located under the car on the driverside in front of the rear axle approximately where the rear seat is.  If there is one by the carb it is an add on and that would explain why they gave you one that looks different.
