Title: Fuel Filters
Post by: cwmcobra on July 26, 2009, 01:58:17 PM: Here's another part that I'm sure is hard or impossible to find. Does anyone make the original style fuel filter? All I can find are the plastic-bodied filters that don't fit the bracket correctly.

Thanks,

Chuck

Still available from GM last I checked:

GF-94

About 5 or 6 bucks ea.

Have seen both in an aftermarket unpainted version.

Originals were a dark blue with red painted labeling.

Post by: Mark Ascher on July 26, 2009, 02:08:10 PM: Loren is correct. I was referring to non-AC.

Post by: Loren At 65GS on July 26, 2009, 02:14:12 PM: The # Mark mentioned is correct for the non A/C cars.
Had to go out to the shop and find my box of filters to check the A/C car # .
It is GF-423.

Post by: cwmcobra on July 26, 2009, 04:28:36 PM: My car has no AC, so the number from Mark appears to be correct.

Thanks again!

Post by: cwmcobra on July 27, 2009, 06:53:04 AM: Thanks Walt. I found those at Rock Auto, but am trying to find some locally so that I can inspect them, as you suggest.

Post by: WkillGS on July 27, 2009, 09:26:27 AM: It's GM part number 5650780. Maybe try a local dealership.
The box art was changed as well. Gone is the old 'AC' we've been seeing for 40 years. Now it's 'ACDelco'.

Post by: cwmcobra on July 27, 2009, 09:58:04 AM: Thanks Walt. I just ordered two from my local dealer. He will have them by Friday. $5.76 each, so can't complain about the price.

Great tip; I really appreciate it!!

Post by: cwmcobra on August 02, 2009, 07:23:27 PM: I knew that was too easy. I went to the dealer to pick up the filters and when I opened the boxes, they were both the "new" style, generic inline filters. Both have the crimped seam in the middle that will not fit in the GS bracket. I'll have to keep looking!

Post by: WkillGS on August 03, 2009, 11:45:16 AM: That's a bummer. Looks like the stock of the old style filter is going fast. There must still be some out there sitting on shelves, we just have to find them. This could be another group project... buy a case or two, and divide them up between us.

Another option is to find a correct-sized replacement.

I will ask my parts sources to see if they can find some AC GF 94 (old style) and if I do, I'll buy as many as I can... Most of the GM dealerships in my area have closed down. but there are several old parts stores that may have some old stock... I will keep you posted..

Title: Re: Fuel Filters
Post by: Mark Ascher on August 11, 2013, 03:41:08 PM: So, does anyone need any of these?
I also picked up a GF-61 today, looks like it lists for Pontiac GTO, but I've seen them in blue/red.
It looks identical to the GF-94.

Mark
Title: Re: Fuel Filters
Post by: cwmcobra on August 11, 2013, 07:59:58 PM: Mark,

Yes, the GF-61 or GF-94 for the non-AC car is what I need. I'll appreciate info on how to procure one or a few.

Thanks,

Chuck
