    Probably better to just put a regular fuel pump on it I am thinking....looks like it could be a leaky disaster.

    If I had a 65 pump/filter, I'd keep it.

    I would keep that setup personally.
    I have one on my 289, never had a problem.
    It’s nice and easy to change in that location without creating a mess.

    I would change filter and while apart, clean up exterior .
    If you find issues inside, then I would change.

    The nice thing about this stye pump, the canister acts like a small tank for the pump.

    I have one of these. Currently waiting on small filter wrench to arrive, so I can undo and replace the filter.

    Soak the area where the  canister screws onto with penetrating oil a few times for a couple of days to help it’s removal, you don’t want to gall the threads by doing the job dry.

    I just ordered one off Ebay and yes, it's a small strap wrench.
    Also, I've never had any leaking issues with the fuel filter. It works great.

    I have found that by wrapping some sandpaper around the canister then applying the strap wrench gives it a better grip. At least it works well on oil filters.
