1. Identify your engine: Look for an engine identification tag, usually located on the driver's side engine compartment. This tag will specify the engine type (e.g., 305 V8, 454 V8, etc.).
2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine, get a repair manual specific to your year and model Vandura *and that engine*. These manuals show diagrams and instructions for location and replacement. Chilton and Haynes manuals are readily available online and at auto parts stores. These are your best bet for accurate information.
3. Look in common areas: While the exact location varies, fuel filters on vehicles from that era are often found:
* Along the frame rail: Somewhere near the fuel tank, often hidden beneath some components.
* Near the fuel pump: The filter might be inline with the fuel line before or after the pump.
Without knowing the specific engine, providing a precise location is impossible. Using a repair manual will ensure you don't waste time searching incorrectly.
