CC 283F or 327F Fuel Filter

[WoodenBNut]

Does anyone know the type of fuel filter cartridge that the Chris Craft 283F/327F engine (they use the same fuel filter) takes and where I can buy some?? This fuel filter assembly for the 283F/327F engine is metal, cylindrical and maybe about 5" long and maybe about 2" in diameter.
Thanks

Check out www.marine-sales.com. (http://www.marine-sales.com.) They bought out the old Chris Craft factory here in Michigan when it closed and they specialize in hard to find parts for older boats.

If memory serves, that is a Bendix fuel filter, and the filter itself is a series of very fine stacked stainless plates on a rod which screws into the top portion of the filter assembly (the cap). They have offset perforations which catch larger particles.You may find a filter on ebay or at some of vintage parts places, but they don't work all that well.

I would advise you install a secondary system using a paper cartridge somewhere in the fuel line.They will catch much finer contaminations in gasoline. I put mine just by the transmission fastened to an engine stringer.

They will have one or know what to replace it with. ;)
Good Luck. smile.gif

P.S.
You might also check with your local NAPA auto parts store too. You'd be amazed at the stuff they have for old marine engines.
