To be certain, you should:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for precise location details.
* Check a 1979 Corvette repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual will have diagrams and instructions specific to your model year and engine type (e.g., 350 small block, 400 small block).
* Search online forums dedicated to Corvettes: Sites like CorvetteForum.com often have detailed threads discussing maintenance on specific models, including fuel filter replacement. Search for "1979 Corvette fuel filter location" or add your engine type to the search.
Without knowing your specific engine type, it's impossible to give you a definitive answer.
