The glass bowl pump will not have the blower pressure reference line fitting like the blower pump, will have to be reworked to include it.  I believe the blower pump has 1/4 inch pipe inlet and outlet fittings, the glass bowl has 1/8.  The pump valves may be smaller in the glass bowl pump, I'm not sure.

Thanks to all of you on all your comments.....I like the Factory photos I have them along with others on my Garage doors..... than you to the gentleman with the idea of puting a glass bowl fuel pump on.... I was thinking of that too :-) I'm going to put the F-code setup together on a spare engine in the basement to see how things fit....

Why not just use a fuel pump with the glass bowl filter? You won't need to worry about locating a fuel filter unless you don't mind using a generic style inline filter.

Jeff:

Since your car is obviously not factory equipped, why not pack the trash can filter safely away and store it, (or send it to me) and install an inline filter anywhere there is room and accessibility?

Scroll down on the provided link and take a look see at where the trash can filter is mounted on this factory blower engine. Might be of some help in your installation.

I, want to thank you guys for commenting on the topic of interest. I, have some clarification to do. First I don't own an "F" car. I, currently have a dual quad setup on my Ranchero. I, was fortunate to of found an original VR 58 Paxton blower. I was wondering Where to locate the "Trash Can fuel filter on the Engine when I, install the Supercharger. I, know it's supposed to mount in the Front on the passenger side of the engine. The problem is I, have factory Aire in the car so the compressor is in the way of the filter being installed. The person that wrote a response saying that a Supercharged car might not of ever been equipped with AC..... I, think he may be right?   


Best Regards,

Jeff

I have a 57 Phase 1 Custom, what you are referring to as a Daytona car.  You are correct it is a -A 'trash can' filter used on the 57 phase 1 cars and the -AB was used on the production cars.

Randy

I am under the impression that you have an "F" vehicle and I believe it to be a T Bird so since you own one your information is likely to be better than mine.

I have not heard of the AA filter. The AB unit is for the 57 model year.

There is an A filter - is that what you are referring to? And you are correct about the filter differences being the dimples size on the bottom of the can.
The A filters were used in the 56 dual quad setups and are somewhat rare. The AB filters were used on the 57 model years.

All of the "F" production cars that I have seen used the fuel filter with the return line, with the exception of pictures of the Daytona racers using the trash can filter. As I said you may have better information since you own an F machine.

I believe that all of the passenger cars used the trash can filters.  The Phase 1 cars used the 9155-AA part and the production cars used the 9155-AB filters. The only difference being the dimple shape at bottom of trash can.
