I guess there had to have been some water in the sump cause it rusted the filter cage off. Very ugly. This is from my old Nova I just brought home from Ohio.

excellent example of what will happen in a fuel system after sitting for years...

maybe some newcomers will see and understand why you can't always take a barn/field find and just "start it up"

good luck with it Joe. :thumbsup:

The filter housing seems fine as do all the fittings and teflon lined hoses. I'll glass bead the filler cap rings and clean the cell out, put a new filter in and see if it all works or not, adjust accordingly.....LOL
