AC Glass Bowl FUEL FILTERS
« on: October 29, 2015, 11:34:42 PM »
AC GLASS BOWL, fuel filter from the early 60's.  I have several of these glass bowl filters and needa few fillament/filters! I have a partial busted filter that appears to be a porous type brass material... Anyone have any vendors for such animals?

ThanX for your input Tom, however, I tried NAPA, AutoZone, Oriellys and a few others.  Napa told me they really need a part number to reference.  :dontknow:

Unfortunately you need a paper catalog, which MANY don't have today, & look through it.

I have a catalog, do you have the application?

59 through 62 Buick used either a GF124 or a GF149.
Look those pn's up on eBay for pics and reference info. Some listings include the housing too.
Corvette supply houses will have correct repo's if that's what you want.
Most are paper filters. Some are sintered bronze, or even cellulose.
