Need help identifying part!

Ok, need help with the ID on a part on my 62 Lancer. It looks to be a cylindrical inline (possibly filter) that is just to the right of and below the starter.
Thanks for the help!

Btw, i have at least 2 of the small plastic inline fuel filters on the car...is this normal?

All you have to do is trace the hose that goes to the front of your car. If it goes into the bottom of the radiator, you gotta Tranny filter. If it goes to the Fuel Pump, you gotta Fuel Filter. Okay? And you better do something soon, that dude looks like it might blow through any second. As far as a replacement, good luck! This looks like a slow mover, slow moving part number do not 'stick around!' Ya know what I mean?!?
