Do you or > does anyone else know if there is a filter in the system somewhere? My '75 has a fuel filter in the engine compartment, right next to the coolant expansion tank. My Haynes manual says that all 99's should have a fuel filter there. Also, the radiator fan in my '75 and '80 stopped with the ignition off. I didn't know that any 99's let the fan run without the key in. Chris Eling Blacksburg, Virginia
