Hi,
The 401 in my 1966 Wildcat is some kind of Frankengine.
My immediate concern is the fuel system:
Part of the AC has been removed as well as the return fuel gas line. There is no fuel filter. Instead, there is an inline plastic bowl (without filter inside) that rests against the engine--with signs of melting. See photo below. This is a receipt for catastrophe.
I need to replace this with a proper filter (initially, without AC until I figure out what has happened to the return line and whether it is fixable). But the chassis manual is a bit unclear as to where the filter should be located and how.
Would someone with a 401 post in a response a photo of their fuel filter assembly?
Where would you recommend I purchase the new fuel filter?
Any assistance with this matter would be very much appreciated!
