[Roadsters] Fuel Bowl filter and fuel flow

[Charles Hubbard]

Roy,

The fuel bowl housing on my 64 warped and started allowing air to slip into
the system.  I found a 1/2in socket that was the same size of the bowl
opening and used a vice to slowly squeeze the socket into the housing until
it flattened out the housing.  I then used an o-ring for new a gasket and
avoided over-tightening the bowl screw. That helped a lot.

Hello All,
I recently reinstalled a new fuel filter and spring in my 67 1600. 
The bowl has not had one in a very long time.  I am having issues with fuel
starvation.  I have just installed a freshly rebuilt fuel pump as I thought
that was my problem, yet my problem persists.  I am noticing the glass bowl
never is full, it is about 1/2 full and goes up and down with gas trickling
in in spurts.  Is the filter restricting flow?  Anyone else have this
problem?  I have blown out the fuel line to the tank and it seems perfectly
clear.  Am I missing something?  I checked all clamps and all are tight, no
leaks.  Never had an issue like this.
Thanks,
Roy
