Denouement should have been italicized - sorrry.  This was my attempt at
keeping up with the sophisticated chatter that characterizes this group.  ;)

Anyway, I did mount the new filter on the new bolt, and all went well,
except that the car would run and die even though I primed the little pump.
So I disconnected the filter to make sure it was full of fuel [it was] and
re-primed until my arm just about fell off.  Then I started the engine again
and it purred like a kitten without dying.  I love these cars.

In my defense, I inherited an abuse problem from the PO, who was probably a
butcher.  The bolt that went south had been giving me fits since day 1 of
owning this car, 10 years ago.  The very first time I attempted to change
the main fuel filter I neeeded a wrench to keep the filter from turning
along with the bolt.  And after installing the new filter, fuel leaked from
the filter-canister interface.
