Hello All,

I just joined this forum, I recently bought a 1962 Ford Falcon. It has a straight 6 engine, it looks easy enough to maintenance. So far I have learned to change the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Now I want to change the fuel filter. I am worried about the gas lines and if pressure is a concern. Can anyone give me some pointers, where do I start?

Thanks Leigha

Hi, (moved the thread to Antique Car Talk if you don't mind)

Owned a few of those back when.

Fuel filter: It should either be in-line or screw into carb if all is original. Been a while - some could be under a bail on fuel pump itself. Still easy enough. You can just about get a filter for lawn mowers for these as they are low pressure.

If this uses a filter at the pump there's a rubber seal that should be renewed if you touch it. Have it first! We used to put in-line ones in lots of cars back when that you could see thru and skip difficult ones. Watch out not to strip ones that may screw into carb - don't use teflon tape - the threads are made to seal by themselves and tape shards will cause you to learn all about rebuilding the carb which may be unnecessary now.

Ask away - I'll recall something about these good old cars,
