new user/member with a few questions-71 gas pedal/fuel filter

Hi everybody, I bought a project from a guy a couple of weeks ago and have
been putting things together. Some successful, some not. Does anyone have a picture they would post of the back of the gas pedal assembly for the 71/72's. I bought the spring and pin but really don't see how it would work. I have a feeling the guy cut the rod and was planning on a custom set up. Or I am delerious from the heat in Texas and am just not seeing it. Also, he had the Blazer gas tank mod laying in the bed so I installed that, he had a flexible fuel line strung back there but no fuel filter anywhere. What is the best place for one to be installed? Closer to the tank, or engine? It has a 350/TH350. Thanks to anyone willing to throw some advice or suggestions my way.

can not help on the gas pedal but depending on the carb a stock 2 or 4 bbl will be in the inlet of the carb and if not install one between the fuel pump and carb.

for safty run a 3/8 metal fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump.

metal is far superior and a whole lot safer than rubbers
