Car is a '73 with fuel pump relocated to the front. I'm looking for a fuel filter with 3/8" inlet and 5/16" outlet that is small enough to be hose clamped to the original filter bracket on the outer engine mount. Closest I've found is a Napa 3486 which has the correct fittings, but is too big to fit on the bracket or anywhere along the firewall.
Anyone done this? My backup plan is to just install a reducer and then a filter but prefer to eliminate the extra connections if I can do this in one step. Thanks. |

I have one on mine, don't know if I can find the number but I got it from Carquest. I just asked the guy, he brought out some filters and we found one.

We tried that at Napa with no luck and the Autozone folks just freeze up if you don't have Make, Model, and Year. I'll give Carquest a shot next time I'm in town. |
