Location of fuel filter??

I've checked the FSM it doesn't give a location, I've searched on google and in here, I know I'm just being a dumbass but could someone give me the rough location of the filter in an '85 FB? It's an N/A if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Also provide what trim level or engine you have.

12As and 13Bs have different fuel filters.

If you have a 12A, you'd have something like this:


If you have a 13B, your filter will look like this:

Thanks bud, that helps a lot. I have a 12A for now, but I'm pulling it to put a 13B in there. Today I pulled the discs and the drums, tomorrow after church i am pulling the fuel filter.

There are screens around the banjo bolts where the fuel feed hard lines bolt to the carb. Check those for gunk.
