They were metal (silver) w/blue lettering. Later on, the lettering changed to black. Most of the repop's have black lettering but I think someone is making them with the earlier blue lettering now. I just don't recall who...

That's the fuel vapor separator which is bolted to the block with the fuel pump. Under the black paint they're a brown metal (copper/brass/).

Wow, you started young. According to your profile your 40 so you have owned the Charger since you were 3?

Can you post a pic of your fuel filter?

It's not a filter, it's a vapor separator. Two different functions. Yes, all the HP 440's & 426 big blocks had vapor separators to help prevent vapor lock.
