Gas tank was empty but clean so I deceided to change the screen in the fuel bowl and took it off to dunk in carb cleaner. I was surprised to find no flat screen but a cylinder of brass screens about the size of your little finger screwed into the top of the bowl casting. It also has a cast outline with HF cast in it.This setup is not shown in the Ford parts book. Any info on this? Thanks,Mike. [Reply]   [No Email]

Well, it works for me and is not leaking so I guess it's good enough for this $650. 2N and me. Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]

I had bought a replacement but see that the line fitting hole is smaller than the HF, I can't swap and will have to keep using this one until I figure out the correct adapter for the fuel line hook up. This is a low buck project,$650., and so far is just for a boom rig to pick up wheel weights and other stuff I'm getting too old to risk my back on. Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]

I would be willing to trade for a very good original ford bowl if you'd like.   [Reply]  [No Email]
