johnsartain Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Your's may be different than mine but the glass bowl on mine has a thumb knob under the glass, loosening it allows the bowl to drop enough to be removed. The upper part is made to my fuel pump. It is a sediment bowl and not a filter, the intent was to capture larger pieces of sediment from the tank to settle into it rather than entering the pump. This is the pump I used ... http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=6285660&cc=956910&jsn=396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Simply loosen the thumb screw and swing the clip to one side and the bowl can be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsartain Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hey Don. What part does that heat shield fasten to, is it one of the lower manifold bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jj1981 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I tried to loosen it but it's only been sitting for 38 yrs I'll keep trying thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rogers Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) John, mine attaches to the front lower manifold stud/bolt. John Edited September 21, 2017 by John Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have seen some of those glass bowls which screw on... so might pay to twist the glass bowl anti-clockwise after you loosen the thumbscrew on the metal retaining piece. The thumbscrew fitting will usually undo with a small wrench or screw driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jj1981 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm thinking of cleaning out the sediment bowl and changing out the lines I know the pump works it was spitting out fuel when I unhooked it from the carb and ran the engine on a small gravity fed tank should I try the pump or replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Elder Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 That's a hoot! The heat shield for the fuel pump is attached to one of the hottest parts of the engine....an exhaust manifold bolt....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I tap the glass ver lightly with a light mallet to jar the glass bowl free from the gasket to which it is firmly attached, easier to jar loose than to twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
