I have a 1986 iroc z with a lg4 5 speed. I bought a new fuel filter yesterday. I lifted to car and there was no fuel filter under the car near the tank like I was told. Instead there was a small clear fuel filter near the carb. Is this normal? Should there me a metal fuel filter near tank?

Re: Fuel filter

Carbureted cars have a small paper pleated filter behind the fuel inlet nut. If there is one outside near the carb someone added it.
Fuel injection have the large metal filter under the car.
