Seeing long lengths of rubber hose on both sides of the filter.
The metal line must be short and will be curious to see how/where it split.
The clear filter there is glass and and metal. Sold by Puralator and prob others too. Replaceble filter,
Chrysler sold cars with plastic filters for years. Not the worst thing world.
The fuel line really needs to run inside and up - made of all steel. Then just hose to make the connection to the filter and another to the carb feed.
