Re: 1972 Chevy p/u NewType Build
I would definitely change that filter. Had a very similar one on mine and it never "broke" but I noticed it leaking one day. It had been sitting in the garage for a month while I rewired the whole truck. Once I was able to start it, I let it run for a minute and shut her down to find out that fuel was dripping rather quickly from the end of the filter. No cracked glass either.
I had driven with that at least once a week for 6 months prior to that with no problems. Just goes to show it can happen at any time. One big cause I've read about is vibration. And more so if it is resting on something, or close and the vibration makes it hit the intake or valve cover or whatever.
I feel better knowing I have a lot less chance of burning up my truck, or anyone inside it.
