Fuel Filter

My 64 F100 292 doesn't have a fuel filter.


My 66 352 had a filter on the bottom of the fuel pump, the 292 doesn't.


I also do not have an inline filter between the pump and carb. The fuel line is hard metal, no rubber at all.


Where did the factory put the fuel filter?

My 64 292 has a fuel filter. It's inside the canister at the fuel pump. Most people are unaware the filter is in there and never replace it, causing problems later on.

Read this.

Sounds like your fuel pump was replaced by one without a filter. Easy enough. Go buy one with a built-in filter if you want the OE look. If I go to Napa online and choose 1964 with 292 I see this one.


NAPA AUTO PARTS



Otherwise, add an inline filter if you want the custom look.

Do I have the wrong fuel pump?

Thanks TA. Would a parts store have a reman or aftermarket pump?


Almost everything under the hood is FOMOCO, so I would like to keep as many oem parts as possible for as long as possible.


Also, is there a screen at the carb that I can clean?


I have no idea how many years there hasn't been a filter on the fuel system.

I wouldn't have a clue what the parts store has to offer. Likely not FOMOCO, however.


No screen that I know of. GM carbs like the Quadrajet had a small brass or paper filter where the line entered the carb, but never seen the like on these old Fords. The filter was in the pump like was mentioned. No other filter that I know of.


If it is running fine then probably no issues have developed from running without a filter. Get one in the system and hopefully that's the extent. The carb itself is the only thing affected if anything, so unless you are having problems it might be OK.


Since it sounds like your current fuel pump isn't stock (no surprise there) then going with another non-stock item probably not the worst thing. You'll never find the stock fuel pump that came on this truck, anyway, if it's not there.

They do not have FOMOCO parts, I got my fuel pump for my 292 from Napa and it was Airtex brand.

Also at the inlet of the carb has a small screen that can been cleaned out, it fits into the end of the fuel line going into the carb. And using the "stock" looking fuel pump with a filter attached is probably the best bet.

Good luck.

Two types of genuine Ford fuel pumps. Original Y block pump had a glass bowl, later the bowl was replaced by a metal canister, both types were retained by a bale (9387 in pic at left).

1964's had a different metal canister that threaded on, so either type could be present.

Some auto parts store replacements pumps do not have a filter, so the only choice you have is to install an in-line filter...which would be spliced into the pump to carb fuel line.

I see three different choices for the pump and filter.


The difference is the color of the filter canister.


Silver, gold, or white with FOMOCO in red lettering.


Which is most correct?

I also see the pump with glass bowl, but Im guessing those were gone by 64. My 65 CJ5 did have one though.

"Spin-On" Canister could be painted white with a red FoMoCo decal (reproduced) or gold with the same decal.

Replacement canister could be white or not painted.

1965: Ford introduced the "Quality Twins" Oil Filters and Oil in one quart cans. The oil filters were gold, as were the 1 quart cans of oil. The "Spin On" fuel filter canister was also gold.

I bought the fuel pump from DC that is listed for a 1964 F100.


It came in a Ford box with a Ford p/n. The pump is a Carter.


It has the canister on the bottom.


Since I currently have no filter, should I take the top off the carb and look inside when I replace the pump? Im wondering if I have any garbage in there.


My 65 Mustang that has a 200/AT has the same pump except the filter is on top on the pump. It looks like you lose about a cup of gas every time you remove it.

the local parts stores will sell you a car pump without the filter, then you have none. I bought a 58 dump truck a couple years ago they did that on and had the carb full junk before I realized it.

I-6's have the canister on the top, V8's have it at the bottom. Filter is the same for all:

C4AZ-9365-B .. Corrugated Paper Cartridge Fuel Filter (Motorcraft FG-1A) / Available from Ford & auto parts stores.

Myriad 1964/72 FoMoCo vehicles.
