Small or large OEM metal fuel filter, venting issue?

I replaced a clogged fuel filter with a small metal fuel filter (about 2 12" diameter) (small- Luber Finer g454 or large - ff3404 see pics) and the engine runs well. Anyway I was wondering if I will have a venting issue and the gas will leak from the carb. Should I replace it with a OEM larger metal fuel filter which has a much greater fuel capacity when fuel is vented back down the line? This for a street cruiser with a slightly modded 273, big cam & 600 Holley double pumper .

Thx, Zookypr
