'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist

For fuel filters, you could really just use any name brand...Purolator, Fram, AC Delco, Wix, etc.

I think what would really be nice is one of those feed lines that attaches to the carb, makes a 90 and then comes straight to the front.

You can get all the same stuff in either chrome/silver or black if you want as well. With the way rubber fuel line gets hard and cracks today, I try to keep as little as possible in the system.

Really like this build.

Last time I used one of those chromed fuel line elbows (on a Holley 4160), the nylon crush washer took on the shape of the nut. Three months later, I tried starting up the car, only to have gas sprayed over the entire engine bay and hood. Not sure the chromed surfaces are smooth enough for a thin crush gasket either. I'd rather not experiment with them.

I have faith in the Goodyear Instagrip synthetic hose. Marvelous stuff, have yet to find any of it dryrotted in 10 years, and I can also use it as PS hose. Just a pain to get it.
