its located just in front of the fuel tank. you'll need (want) some replacement clips that hold the fuel hose onto the filter.

I just changed mine on an 89 my new filter came with new clips. You just pull the clips out and the hoses pull right off. You will also need a 5/16" nut driver or socket to loosen the clamp that holds the filter to the car. I hope you like the smell of gas cause you will get it all over you, or at least i did. "Hey baby, is that 93 ocatane your wearing?" lol!

Keep your mouth closed when you remove the fuel lines.

just hit the inertia switch in the back of your car and start the car up untill it stalls and there is no gas in the lines, nor pressure.. it worked for me, with very little gas loss which mean alot up here in canada, where it cost 105 a L.

That'll help depressurize the lines, but you can still have fuel that puddles in the lower parts of the lines or the filter, so beware of that regardless.
