You should invest in a fuel filter before the carburetor. DUREX brand sintered brass filters were generally installed on these from the dealership. Although some folks can argue the safety of a glass top fuel pump, the screen filter they have does serve to keep the crude issue to a bare minimum.
I've been debating where to add one in, but not liking the idea of cutting up my new fuel lines. If I recall, my new sending unit has a sock on it, so that's at least a start. I've seen other '52 models, like the coupe with the glass bowl, and maybe I'll look at that route once I get done messing around with the engine.
Came over from AAR ... Checking it out!!😎
Thanks!
Neat
My OCD wants to scream that you need a magnetic parts-cup for the screws, bolts, nuts, and clips....
I have one actually, it's full of screws, bolts, nuts, and clips from other areas of the car :) I think.. the bolts that hold the front seat in.
It takes a lot of effort to get rid of 69 years worth of crud!
