That's quite a fuel filter.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. 3 months I think
Was getting a little more bucking than usual. Filter easy. Shocked!
Removed the fuel sender today and checked out the inside. Looks good. Reinstalled.
Beautiful day in the Skagit valley. 90 miles. Added 5 gals of ethanol free. No bucking on the return drive. Also drove 10 miles on I-5 in 5th @3200 rpm!

That filter is a shocker, how long had that been on there?

[pebbles]

No idea. Picked the car up after returning from Shedd late August. Fuel hoses and clamps look "newer", so I assumed not too old. I will likely add another after the pump. I try to change out the one before the pump every year in most cases.

Removed the wiper arms and serviced the pivots and hardware. All tight and ready for rain!
Cleaned the windshield in and out.

Thanks, Yeah the lefts get a little sooty after awhile These werent too bad. The gaskets were crumbling. I polished the outside of the lenses as the insides looked pretty good. I swapped out 1 chrome housing.
It drives SO nice with the 16s and the 5sp.
Big thanks to Sports Imports for a couple of better rings and Stretch (Paul) for the gaskets.
Gas cap door repair and filler alignment next.
Side trim and side badges also need some tlc.
