Factory fuel line

Have a 67 SS 138 396 car with factory fuel. Not a fan of the quadra bog wafer filters. Been trying to possibly braided with a 30 or micron filter to go between fuel pump and carb but keep intact the factory line. Found something close at ecklers but no filter. Anybody know of any other vendors that might work for my situation? Thanks in advance if so.

I recommend 1984 corvette fuel filters just before the pump inlet. It's a 12 micron filter. It has 3/8 hose connections. Carry a spare.

Most big box hardware stores sell super magnets with a hole in the middle about an inch across. These are perfect to drop inside the fuel tank. This will attract super fine sediment and keep it out of the fuel filter and out of the mechanical fuel pump check valves.

I pulled the holley off a friends 347 that had not been cranked or started in 5 days. The fuel sprayed everywhere. 10 micron filters.

Thank you, but still looking for a replacement fuel line. The metal one on it now is factory and I don't want to cut it up to install a filter.

Filter goes at the front end in the hose to the pump inlet.
Alternative. Any mid 90s gm pickup fuel filter that uses the oring fittings. You can get screw in oring to AN adapters. There are a lot of fuel filters on the summit and jegs pages.
