Sounds like the glass fuel bowl on the fuel pump. Does it have a metal hasp with a thumbscrew on the bottom, and acts as a clip to hold the glass bowl firmly to the fuel pump body?
If so check ebay/craigslist for an old style fuel pump assembly, they're available, but what do you want to pay? Someone on here may have an extra, don't know. Try Franzmarine@aol.com he's a good honest guy and knows his old Chrysler's and has great parts at fair prices. I'm sure there are some marinas out there that may have an old one laying around too.
You probably ought to replace the diaphragm in the fuel pump too as a matter of maintenance since you're now "playing" in that area anyway. Good luck...

If the glass bowl is an added part to the system it can be unscrewed and thrown away.
Not sure what pump you have.Serial# ??
The ones I look up don't have a sediment bowl.
Post a few picks.J
