Can anybody tell me where the fuel filter would be located on my 1982
pickup? On my 1977, it was located on the passenger side fender. My
1982 has a long cylindrical item over there with two hoses attached,
is this it?

Thanks

PS The 1977 used an electric fuel pump, the 82 has a mechanical.

Should be clipped to the frame near the gas tank.
Just in front of the passenger side rear wheel well.

Thanks, I'll look. But maybe you could help me with my other problem.

I doubt my choke is working. It does start right up, but it idles
rough/won't idle until its warmed up, then it seems like its idling a
bit fast. I have two plates visible in my carb. The one on the
passenger side is always open, the one on the drivers side is always
closed. No matter if its warm, cold, or indifferent, they are always
like that. Can somebody help me with what to look for?

Sounds like the choke linkage is screwed.
I don't know exactly how to fix it, but I had the carb fixed on my '86
toy truck because it was doing the same thing.

It was a simple job for an experienced mechanic.
