Well, first, the support bracket to the gascolator should already have been installed. I don't think it was an AD, but it's in the service bulletins. It's also a great idea. Mine had the bracket installed, but didn't have the strap that actually supported the gascolator. I had it installed as soon as I read about it in the bulletins. The nipple from the carb to the gascolator should already have been replaced with brass in all Coupe's, as that's an AD. I don't know how many other nipples there are in there. The two fittings in the fuel pump are aluminum, but they aren't nipples. Do they have to be replaced with this AD? All the lower fittings and valves in mine were brass. Seems a simple inexpensive process to see if there are any more.
