Here is what I thought about putting into the engine bay, I could do it without using rubber hose (I imagine) now that this flare kit is coming.

What do yall think about that just after the fuel pump?

Since my carb has it's own filter inside it anyway....should I even bother with an add on after-pump filter?

Greg,

The filter you posted from Jeg's is for -AN fittings and will not work with a double flare steel line. These filters take special fittings and are more commonly used with braided fuel line.

If your carb has a filter (like a Q-Jet) then it should be plenty. The in carb filters do a great job at filtering which is what they are suppose to do. It does not matter how many filters you have before it, if it fails then you have junk in the carb.

The stock GM fuel system is more than capable of filtering and supplying fuel to your engine unless you are running 9 second 1/4 mile times. Then things just need to be bigger.
