As discussed in the "Other Four Eyes" forum, I recently acquired an '82 Zephyr Z7.
One mystery, as I'm buying some "tune up" parts online - where is the fuel filter? I expected to see one back by the tank, as it is on my '89 Mustang, but I guess that's the EFI configuration. On the Zephyr there's just a hose from the outlet on the top of the tank to a hard line on the chassis. I haven't traced that hard line the length of the car, but there's definitely not an inline filter at the rear of that hard line, and there's not an inline filter at the front of the hard line (where it emerges into the engine bay at the base of the driver side strut tower). There's just a hose that goes from the hard line at the frame rail to the fuel pump - no inline filter there.
Rock Auto shows a couple of different types of filters, but I don't see where they would go. Will I find a filter if I follow the hard line along the bottom of the car (and then feel really stupid for posting this question)?
