[Old Truck Man]

Ok today I went to start up my 76 C65 truck. Its equipped with a 366 big block. It wouldn't run. I was having a fuel delivery problem. Now Ive owned this truck for a few years. Got to hunting the problem and found a cannister type fuel filter bolted to the frame right above the passenger side saddle tank. its between the saddle tank,s & carb. Never gave any problems until now. In fact I didn't even know it was there until today. It failed because it caught water and rusted the bottom of the cannister out. Now Ill not swear this filter setup was factory installed. Its possible it was installed when the saddle tanks where put on the truck. Now this truck was in use daily for many years. It had a bed on it with a tommy lift. Belonged to a well known welding supply co. Was used to deliver oxygen & acyetelyne bottles ect. they Ran it over 200,000 miles using this filter setup. Any way I bypassed the canister filter and temporarly installed a wix inline filter.
