Hey guys
A while back I mentioned putting a fuel filter just before the carburetor on my ‘49 std 8. Well here is a pic of what i have. Let me know if this looks to be the right one. It has a ceramic filter in the bowl.

That's right. Wash the ceramic filter in acetone. You can also get modern pleated paper filter.

For those missing such a filter or having a warped one, Jeff Adkins, Moose Motors, Penngrove (Petaluma, CA in the North Bay) had or has NOS, as he does most mechanical items and all drum brake parts for everything domestic from Auburn through Zephyr into the '60s. (707) 792-9985, packardguy54@sbcglobal.net

Tell him Mike, '47 Super Clipper, Walnut Creek referred you. Jeff also rebuilds most components, including pressure plates with the Packard jigs.

"Chinese red" available from Ace Hardware a match for the original paint, as it was for the recessed hexagon on the hubcaps of the '40 One-Twenty i had long ago.

Thanks su8overdrive,
I will remember to do that, and will keep your rebuilder in mind.
