86 460 electric pump fuel filter

Fryeken
My 86 460 has dual tanks and the electric fuel pump per the rad support sticker. I couldn’t find a canister filter in the frame- do these trucks just have a filter online at the carb?

Yes they have (a) a screen in each tank and (b) a vapor separator in the fuel line coming up to the carburetor and (c) a filter at the carburetor inlet.  Here is the one on mine (circled in red) when I removed it.

Bill,
My 4180 had a little cup-like screen (as you'd find in a paint gun)
Others talk of a brass stone.

Which did Darth come with?

The screen, aftermarket Holleys, particularly the dual feed "cathedral" bowls used the GM sintered brass filters.

When I was buying them from the Ford parts counter they came with the big thin washer that seals to the bowl.
I don't know about the aftermarket.

At worst case, the seal washer is common to a lot of GM carbs with the sintered bronze filter.

I'm just thinking back to the stripped bowl thread last week

No problem, I got extremely well acquainted with this system as mine was originally carbureted with the in-tank low pressure pumps.
