I have a 1969 Firebird that has been sitting awhile. Would not start - wasn't getting gas to the Carburetor.
I hooked a mechanical vacuum pump (not electric - don't want to explode myself) to the line at the carburetor and can pull gas from the tank but it runs right back (parked on a slight incline) when the vacuum is let go so the check valve in the pump is bad.
Ordered new pump as old one is 15-20 YO and pre-ethanol anyway. But I noticed sediment in the capture jar in front of my vacuum pump so I would like to add a fuel filter in front of the mechanical fuel pump to protect the pump (and also the tiny filter in the carburetor would fill up quickly I suspect).
So any suggestions for an in-line filter, please?
Thanks,
John
