Take a look at my new fuel line.

I spent the afternoon looking at fuel lines and decided to go with this size and went ahead and put it directly into the carb minus the barb. I know I should have a filter between the carb and the pump as well as one between the tank and the pump. Where should I put the one between the pump and the carb?





Also take a look at the headers and my line----it isn't really that close as to the headers as it looks it is above the log by a 2 to 3 inches, but does anyone think I need to wrap the line or do something here to keep it from heating up??

There are the little canister filters. They mount at the carb, and you can use a rubber line from the metal line between the pump and carb for the last bit of fuel flow. Maybe 3 or 4 inches of rubber. It's an easy set up.

Another thought on the filters... The filters in my 93 buick roadmaster and my 87 chev V20 were inline cans with 3/8 threaded fittings on both sides. I dont remember now if they were strange fittings or not. They were a larger diameter but may look cleaner that the ones with a hose in line. I bet if you can find a book at the parts store with pictures you can find one that is the right size and has the right connectors to splice in your new steel line. I would not put the filter on the exhaust side because of the heat.

Where was the filter on the ones that were in the pumps? On the in side or out side? That may be a clean looking option.

They're in-pump. I like the look of my in-pump filter.

Any one got a pic of one with the in-pump filter? The holley has a brass/copper looking mesh filter in the inlet...would that be good enough?

you cant beat a nice fuel hardline, it looks great.I am runnig a hard line too and it gets pretty close to the header,I have not had any problems with it so far.I dont run a filter after the fuel pump I have it back by the gas tank-hope this helps

I will post a picture tomorrow, when it's light. Umm... I can find it on google I think, but it's a 289? It looks the same, but it's inverted.
