Consider: If Ross hadn't posted the pic and I hadn't listed the part number and sources, how many of y'all would be aware it even existed, or that any were still available?
Scenario: People need these filters, go to the parts store, it's not available, so what do they do? They leave the puppy out, cuz they can't find a replacement.
So, now you know why most of y'all have never seen one. Obsolete, not available for years, glass bowl is empty.

It was a very succesful thing, it's been obsolete for over 20 years, all have been sold except the nine (added [1] 1BA-9365-A) I listed. If it was a failure, there'd be 100's available.

I found nine because I have obsolete parts locator resources that next to no one else on FTE has. How many do you think sellers of new & rebuilt pumps can find?

Calm man. I am not trying to argue. I am well aware of what obsolete means. Red letters don't make it any clearer. My point is simple--if they were so successful, why haven't the parts suppliers continued to put a simple cartridge filter back into those bowls?

come on guys. I'm having enough trouble with this truck. Y'all are both helpful. I appreciate the pic and info. I do have an inline filter though so i don't see ordering one of those. So Doc, how about my response to your question?

In the future, I advise you not ask it three times in one post. That could be mistaken as being rude.

When you bought these pumps from Ford (glass or metal bowl), they didn't come with a filter, sold by itself.
Carpenter has a new pump available for 70 bucks (2011 paper edition catalog), has the glass bowl, but there's no filter included.
Buy one a these, buy all the remaining filters, you'll be set for life.

Because the type that fits in the glass bowl isn't available and hasn't been for years. The filter that fits inside the fuel pump with the metal bowl is different.

Doc, I'm trying to stop a war inside my question, i complement you both, and you say MY post could be considered rude. Thanks for the "advice". Consider me scolded. Amazing.

that's you advising me. had nothing to do with a truck, just an in thread argument.

Let me give you some more advice--drop this now. If you want to keep picking, I'll keep picking back. This isn't the mustang forum. We're all laid back guys who don't go around looking for an argument.
