I have a 56' Ford Victoria with an 292.  I wanted to put a new gas filter in the glass bowl, but when I took the bowl off there was really no filter in it.  It looked like it had a hard type filter that would not come out.  Didn't want to jerk it put until I asked about whether it comes out or not.  Can anyone help me.  Thank you in advance. 

This probably won't help but my 56 has the glass bowl with no filter on the pump and I can't find a "rock" style or paper one to fit. I can only check it for sediment. I installed a glass AC unit in the stock location between the pump and the carb.

Thank you for the reply.  At least I wasn't crazy.  I will probably do what you did going into the carb.  Have a great day.

You may have a sintered bronze filter which I believe is cleanable . maybe brake cleaner.
 this may be of interest

I'm not a believer in the sintered bronze style of filter - I'd rather have an "element" style that can be changed out. The AC GF62 unit is exactly the same mounting length as my original T-bird filter, uses the same mounting and inlet/outlet adapters - and the canister can be fitted with the FOMOCO/Motorcraft logo cans from the 60's.   The mounting boss of the AC filter housing can be drilled out and threaded to accept a pressure gage as well.      Steve Metzger       Tucson, Arizona
