Correct fuel filter color - blue or silver?
« on: March 01, 2025, 02:31:57 PM »
Hi

What is the correct 1965 OEM (i.e. what color is was when it rolled off the assembly line) fuel filter color - blue or silver?

Thanks!

i have both and don't know if one or the other is correct. Both are old school original AC branded with the same construction and port configurations.

The one on the Verde Howitzer was bought NOS and is silver.
