Ok, I got the fuel assembly apart and it was just stuck. The fuel bowl was not cracked just looked like it. I got it cleaned up pretty good. I have another question though about the NAPA filter # 3264 that I was given as a replacement filter. As looking in the pics it is way shorter than what was in the fuel assembly but the one that was in it was sitting in crud in the bottom of the bowl. Is the shorter NAPA 3264 the correct replacement? Should there be some room at the bottom for crud? Did this have the incorrect length filter in it? Wushaw, what filter do you use?
I have only replaced my filter once so far and it came with the fuel bowl.
I do believe it looks like a long GM filter used in the old Quadrajet carburetors, atleast that is what I am going to try next time.
GM used a short ( @ 1" long) and a long filter ( close to 2" )
If that one in the picture is the long one I would try it.
