Original type fuel filter?

ST · #1 (**permalink**) 03-14-2002, 12:25 PM

I need to get a hold of one of the original looking fuel filters used on the 427 Cobra. This is the inline one that's mounted in front of the driver side valve cover. (black or chrome don't matter) Any ideas where to buy one?

ST, I cant find the paper work from the place I bought it, but I did find it in hemmings. I searched FORD and FE parts and called about 5 places until I found a brand new never used filter /bracket and I bought the new fuel lines(58 tbird with FE? need bend around distributor).I also got the OEM FUEL log from Cobra restorers. I now have a factory official fuel system ! If there ever was one ! Total cost @ $250

If I find paper work I will let you know. Scott

ST...Southern Automotive sells it complete from fuel pump to carb..however most of the filters are dummies because evidently they are very prone to leaking.

ST, I found it ! I bought the setup from Perogie Enterprises in NJ. 609-448-1684. It was not cheap NOS 427 canister $200,$45 bracket & clamps,$55 new fuel lines. Good luck

There is an original chrome 427 canister on ebay, chrome looks great. the other parts are available reproduction. You can't beat the original Ford Chrome plating on these.
