1955 Olds Fuel Bowl Filter

Anyone out there know what to use? Bought remanufactured fuel pump but it doesn't come with the glass bowl filter - none listed in Fusick's catalog - local parts store lookup comes up with an in-line filter application. I know the original was a sediment stone (I don't have anything) - isn't there a replacement cartridge that can be used? Any leads or info is appreciated.

I tend to see them from time to time NOS in the box.. But you have to wonder if its a smart thing to actually use them since they almost crumble into ash in your hand! An inline aftermarket hidden one would be a better solution

I put one on my 55 Cadillac. I got it off of eBay. As for the filters disintegrating, maybe one made in 1955, but the filter is a stock item at most auto stores.

Try 'Tractor Supply Chain' - they have a lot of fuel systems parts for tractors...my Oliver glass bowl is too big for the '57...take the fuel pump with you to the store...
