I have a 63 289. I want to run a hard line from the mechanical pump to an in-line filter and then to my new Edelbrock 1403 carburetor. I'd like to use a filter with threaded connections and avoid the type that connect with rubber hose. I have found numerous filters with -6 AN connectors but all of the affordable (about $25 or less) are 40 micron and usually listed as pre-filters. I have read that I should use a 10 micron filter.
I did find a couple of clear filters that have removable hose barb fittings and could possibly be a usable pipe thread but they do not list their micron rating. One says it has a nylon screen and the other Stainless Steel mesh.
Any ideas from someone who has done this?
I've got the fuel pump and the carburetor ends figured out. I'm planning on using 5/16" zinc coated steel line.
Thanks.
