Re: Pontiac overhead cam + NAPA Fuel Filter

["ROBIN C KANE FOR" <wolberg5@domain.elided>]

It also had poor oil feed for the cam. A friend owned one in college was
laways putting in new cams when he wasn't helping me with my car projects.

I bought one of those NAPA Gold 3299 filters and threw into my Berlina just
as it was getting dark and now have a car that won't start. The pump
pressure light goes out but it acts likes its fuel starved and I can hear
gurgling noises in from the rear of the car. Is it possible I put the filter
in backwards? It wasn't clearly marked except for some >>>'s on the side
which I assumed indicated the direction of flow.  The other possibility is
that my hose clamp on the hose from the tank, made a semi-permanent crimp
that's collapsing when the pump starts up. Anyway its snowing today so I
probably won't get a chance to undo my handywork until next weekend. Is
there ant way to change the hose from the tank without emptying it?
