concerns about flare fitting on fuel pump and carburetor

[mike16]

repro fuel lines. use a factory bronze or paper in line filter in the carb but also an after market in line clear plastic one somewhere in the line between the tank and the pump.

That way you can see the garbage that would have ruined your pump and caused you no end of frustration down the road.

garbage is garbage and if there alot in your tank plan on a new tank eventually, dont wait too long either because new pumps, rebuild kits, and under hood fires along lonely dark roads late at night soon will cost more than a new tank
