* On the frame rail: This is a common spot for many vehicles of that era. Look along the frame rails, near the fuel tank, for a cylindrical canister.
* Near the carburetor: Less common, but possible, it might be closer to the engine, near the carburetor itself.
* In the fuel line: It may be integrated into a fuel line section rather than being a separate canister.
To find it definitively, you'll need to:
1. Consult a repair manual specific to your Buick Skylark Custom's year: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your exact year and model will have diagrams showing the fuel system's location. This is the most reliable method.
2. Check online resources: Search online for "19XX Buick Skylark Custom 350 fuel filter location" (replacing "19XX" with your car's year). Some forums and websites might have photos or descriptions from owners who've worked on similar models.
3. Follow the fuel line: Start at the fuel tank and trace the fuel line toward the engine. The filter is somewhere along that path. Be cautious as fuel lines can be under pressure even when the engine is off.
Remember to be careful when working around fuel lines and the fuel filter. Fuel is flammable, and you should avoid sparks or open flames.
