That car should have a 305 V8 with a carburetor, which then would most likely be a Rochester Quadrajet. On the front of the carb, where the fuel line goes in, there is a hollow part that the fuel filter is inside of. At least if it hasn't been replaced with a different one, usually somewhere in the fuel line, between the fuel pump and the carb. The back side of that part will be a hex head, to put a wrench on, usually 1 inch size. That part should be held with a wrench while the fuel line is disconnected from the front, then unscrew that part from the carb. Be careful putting it back on, that the threads don't get crossed, or that it is over-tightened, as they do strip out fairly easy. The paper filter inside goes with the end that has an opening in it towards the fuel line side. Oh, also, there's a spring that goes behind it. That is to say, put that in towards the carb, before the filter.How to change a fuel filter on a 1986 monte carlo?
have him look on the frame rail i cant remember which side its on ,but it should be located about half way under the car,good luck.
it on the driver side on mine about where drive seat is
have him look to see if it has a mehanical fuel pump. it might be there if it is you will be able to see a caister thing on the under side of fuel pump. if its not there follow the fuel line back from the carb. it will be a in line filter, must likely between the carb and the fuel pump.
