Water seperating fuel filter and an older style at that. I have a newer Racor on my boat.
From the looks of that filter it has not been changed in a while.I would upgrade to a newer style head with a more common filter. They seem to be smaller these days. |

Yep, that's a fuel /water separator. I would at least get a new filter for it as that one looks to have been on there quite a while. It seems CC vacillated in the 80's on what style to use.
My older 78 has a large commonly available spin on filter and it works well. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

Correct, that is the smaller and not as desirable type. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |
