This Saturday (03/11/2023) we are going to have a chapter meeting in North Little Rock. About 40 mile each way so it should be a great little drive.
So tonight, and or early Sat. morning I will do a quick check over before heading out.
the other day driving home it was running well and then it was hesitating at 60 mph and felt like running out of gas. let off the gas and gave it back and ran good.
It did that 3 or 4 times on the way home, I will pull the plugs and clean them and re-check the timing.
I'll post pics good or bad. Bad as if i get stuck along side the high way....... i hope not......

There is a "sock" in the tank from the factory. It is not as much a filter as it is a screen.
Other than that is the one on the carb. If any foreign thing comes out of the filter after removal, just replace. And you may be cleaning out bad gas by replacing the filter more than once.

The meet went great, but i was not able to drive the falcon.
we left out in it but about 5miles or so down the road it started acting up like it was not getting fuel.
turn around and took the trunk instead.
when we got there no one else drove their falcons due to the server weather.
So, I didn't feel that bad not driving my falcon. there was only one guy that had his falcon there.

So this morning I pulled the fuel filter that is right before the fuel pump and replaced it with a new one.
then i took the old one and cut it open to see what was clogging it. i have always done that because if you just replace and toss the old one without looking you will never know what is causing the problem. now i was thinking some trash, rust or some thing like that.
not this, and i dont know what is causing it but i will be pulling the tank and doing a cleaning and flushing out the lines.

new filter with just about 5 min of running, you can already see the milky look to it.

I flushed out the fuel lines and that's where the gunk was coming from.
The tank was good but the lines......man they were filled with that junk.
After all put back together and gas was flowing it was clear and flowed a lot lot better.
took the car for a 30 drive and still no gunk in the filter so I think I'm good on that end.
I'm still going to seal the tank anyways just to be on the safe side.
