OK, I finally got out today to work on my '69. One reason I got the truck in nthe first place was a problem with the gas tank; apparently the PO couldn't get fuel to the engine.

I went today and cleaned out the tank and I blew out the fuel line attached to the sending unit. The problem I'm having is that the mesh filter that attached to the sending unit fuel line is missing, and it's not replaceable. when I checked out the parts catalogs, it looks like their units don't have the filter either, so is it OK to run without the filter?

edit: OK, never mind the above, I found the strainer, but does anyone have any idea how they attach?
