autoxcuda, is that a plastic fuel filter?View attachment 1715681675

Yep. Been running them in cars for 30 years.

It’s held away from the manifold secure in place by 3/8” hard lines on either side.

Does NOT have 100% floppy rubber fuel haphazardly routed from the carb to fuel pump. That 19 yo kids used when they swapped to Holley carbs and/or aluminum intakes back in the day.
