81 -83 FUEL FILTER

["Neil Thorpe" <nt014b6628@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just received a pair of fuel filters for my 82 imp

from an ac-Delco dealer in the UK that i ordered about

six weeks ago the part number is GF785 the other

number on the box is 25177244.

 

These filters are as per the ones found at AutoZone

by David Morrison with the Chrysler part numbers

4185536 and 4185533 painted on them as well as the

Chrysler name and pentastar, they are also grey

but in an ac-Delco box as you would expect.

 

Also received is a headlight switch for the same car

part number is Mopar 56021898AB i have not tried fitting

the switch yet but it does look correct.

 

unlike the one i was supplied with recently that i

fitted in a hurry but did not check besides pulling

switch out hearing headlamp flaps work and switching

off again, about a week later i noticed in the cars reflection

in a shop window that i had no side lights (park lights).

Out with the FSM, find wiring diagram trace light feed

from fuse box to switch with no feed coming out of switch

took the switch off and compared it with the original

and there was no tag at location B2 i was pleased i had

found the reason for no lights but i was less than impressed 

by my parts supplier. 

 

 

Hope this helps someone even if it only helps someone

get off to sleep at night!!!!!

Stan Davis asked about fuel filters for 81-83 a couple weeks ago.

 

I went to Autozone today to pick up the fuel filters they ordered for me earlier this week.  They are not regular store stock, but can be ordered from the Autozone warehouse or you can go online to Autozone.com.  The part number is G-492.  They came in a Champion Laboratories box.

 

When I opened the box I was surprised that these are almost identical to the OEM filters on my 81.  They carry the Chrysler pentastar imprint and part number 4185536/4185533.  I only say "almost" because the paint is gray rather than what appears to be an off-white for the originals.  Otherwise, they seem to be an exact replacement.

 

P.S. The carb cleaner is working great on the potting compound.  Thanks.
