Thread: Updating fuel filter for a 215 v8 (62 Buick special)

    Updating fuel filter for a 215 v8 (62 Buick special)

    Sup peeps...

    I have the 215 in my 62 special. Im still using the stock glass fuel filter housing and would like to swap it out for a modern fuel filter.

    Can i use any kind of fuel filter housing or do i have to buy one based on the fuel pump pressure? Anyone recommend a good filter to replace the stock one with?

    if you still want to be able to look through the filter, you can get a see-through plastic one from NAPA, the Gold 3003.

    the one i've linked has no problem flowing diesel fuel oil faster than needed to feed my turbo 6.7L ( it's on my reserve fuel tank, i'm not using it for my main OEM fuel filter ). your little 3.5L should present no problems for it.
