Yes, that filter might have had just enough crap in it to effect the
performance. Another thing that keeps coming up in the group is
possible vapor locking on many of our cars. Just because the fuel
line is right where the factory put it, does not mean that it is not
too close to a heat source. You may have to reroute the fuel line so
it is further away from the heat source. But try this first: wrap the
fuel line with plastic wire loom that is slightly larger than the gas
line. This will insulate the fuel line a bit from the heat, and you
could even buy the colored wire loom if you wanted something besides
black. If you think that the plastic loom will melt because it is too
close to something,,,
,,, then the fuel line is too close to that heat
source and should be moved. Bob in
