Re: KPack's 1954 Panama

Haven't gotten much done this week unfortunately. I did have some time to mess with a couple of things last night, one of which was the fuel filter in the bowl.

The original ceramic element has been soaking in acetone for 2 days and none of the dark oil contamination has come out. So looking at the parts cross reference I found NAPA Gold 3943 fits the Carter long bowl. Amazingly, my local NAPA had it (they haven't had anything else I've gone in for).

The old gasket was hard, and all the openings were almost completely closed. I guess that would explain why the bowl was often nearly empty. There are two sizes of new rubber gaskets in the NAPA kit, one of which is the perfect size. So, off with the old and in with the new.

I lost the original look, but I'm happy to find a filter that fits. I'll keep the old ceramic element around to see if I can figure out a way to clean it later.
