Denni,

     The job wasn't really that messy, just a few drops on the 
ground, that can be caught by almost any catch pan.  One 1/2 
gallon gatorade bottle, and about 24" of fuel hose.  I guess I 
made it sound worse than it was.  I was intending to show that 
even the old clogged filter with the sand/rust in it was still 
the same delivery,and pressure.  Good filter or good pump, it 
wasn't the root problem.  I've seen it on almost every car over 
10 or 15 years old.  The rust will be filtered, and the suggested 
replacement is 12K on the filter.  Also how do they do it on the 
newer 100K mi cars?  My friends' 66 Caddy had a glass bowl type 
filter, and it was one cup of rusty sludge.  Ran like a monster 
(429) after we claeaned the filter and the carb bowl.  Also you 
may want to periodically open the carb top and see that the float 
bowls are not collecting crap in there.  This is common as the 
filter cannot always do the job.  Also if there is gunk in the 
float bowl, it won't make a difference until the vehicle is 
jostled pretty good (4x'ing) and that is the least favorite time 
to have a sputtery or non-functional carb.

     Not really that extreme, the service is really a piece of 
cake.  The filter stuff took about 20 min.

Good luck,

Dear IHers,


After reading this description, I've got two questions!

Just how common is this sort of thing?  What Joel describes is 
scary!

Second, is this something I should do to my fuel system to 
perform (extreme)
service on it?  Sounds messy, but productive.

Thanks,
Denni

Mark,

     Call you Saturday, we'll set something up.  Or page me at

Any lurkers in Tucson, or Southern Arizona, that want to help 
form a club.  Sounds like we have some pretty good leads.
