Can anyone tell me where the factory located the fuel filter on a 1979 5.0 Mustang?

Looks like that one can go anywhere in the soft-line leading to the carb. I have a 4-cyl engine with the Holley 5200 2-bbl with the screw-in fuel filter.

I`m not sure if it is exactly the same, but on my 79 Zephyr Z7s 302, there is approx an inch of rubber hose between the fuel filter and the carb fitting. Funny, on my old 78 Fairmont 302, I am pretty certain that the fuel filter screwed directly into the carb.

Yes it is screwed in on the 4-cylinders, but uses an inline for the 5.0 cars.Originally Posted by IDMooseMan
