I'm swapping it tomorrow. Looked for it in the dark tonight with a flashlight, no luck. Where is it exactly?

Where EXACTLY is the fuel filter? (pics appreciated)

Black cylinder with input and output tubing, about 4-5 inches long, 2-3 inches wide.
Should be held in a bracket under the Master Cylinder.
With where you're located, you will likely break the bolt holding it in the bracket so make provisions ahead of time to secure the new one, if it does break.
Should have sprayed liberally with PB Blaster 24 hrs ahead of time for the best chance to avoid breakage.
Might get an Aspire fuel filter bracket, of course you'd need some new fuel line but it would relocate the filter in a much better position.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)

Also, if I break the bracket, I'll strap it back on with pipe clamps.
Please tell me you own a Haynes or Ford manual for your car.
If not it's a real bargain in helping you learn your way around an engine compartment. It has many pics and illustrations to help ID unknown components.
Zip ties or band clamps will suffice if you break the bolt.
BTW, the bolt is on the backside of the fuel filter a real PITA to get too, so plan on taking some time with it.'93 Blue 5spd 230K(down for clutch and overall maintanence)
