All Small Six fuel leaks at fuel filter

[1981 Capri]

Have a one barrel Holley carb on a 200 . we are original owners , we think this is the original carb , it has been rebuilt a few times over the years , and has had many fuel filter changes . Now having an issue with fuel dripping from the threaded side of the fuel filter while the engine is running . No fuel dripping on the rubber hose to solid fuel line connection . Seems like every time i check the fuel filter , it is loose , so is engine vibration causing the fuel filter to come loose or maybe threads are damaged between a fitting in the carb and the screw on fuel filter ? or maybe i should think about a new carb !

Try this adapter I have one on my 1100. Stopped the fuel drip. The screw in filter was hitting the carb before it could get tight enough.
