Default What fuel filter

I'm putting on a new Edelbrock 600 - what fuel filter should I use with it?

Here one I used to use. now I have a Holley.



You can buy a fitting from Areo or summit that will fit the stock fuel pump and then allow you to hook up braided fuel line to it.

Are you asking me? If so, I replaced my Edlebrock with a Holley. Engine was runnig to lean in upper RPM's. Motor runs much better with the Holley. Not saying Edlebrock is bad, just no more about Holley, so it's easier for me to set up.

I would order from jegs or summit. You get it in a day or two. Your in Milwaukee? Try Lee auto parts they'll have the next day if they don't have it in stock or Pep boys. The nice thing about the edelbrock set up is it won't leak. I see to many guys run fuel hose with clamps, that is going to be a problem down the road.

Edelbrock makes a fuel line and fuel filter made just for the small block Chevy that goes from the fuel pump to the carb inlet. As good as any and better than most. No adapting to do.

Is this something that a parts store should have, or do I need to give Edelbrock a call.

Sped.. where you from?

I'll wave when I drive by on Tuesday! I'm going down to Chicago to pick up a T5 that I bought on ebay. (Unless of course you have a reason to be coming to Milwaukee (with something large enough to haul a tranny in) anytime soon )

If you're ever headed up to Elkhart lake or anything, throw a post up here and maybe we can cruise up together.

Edelbrock's part numbers are 8131 (polished aluminum filter) and 8134 with a blue anodized filter. That's for the carburetor feed line and filter. The part number for the line from the fuel pump to the filter is 8123 for a small block Chevy.

You should be able to get these parts from either Summit Racing or Jegs, as well as ordering the from a speed shop or direct from Edelbrock.

Just wanted to throw my .02 in here because I see them far too often.

Never get a filter made out of glass. they look cool but they crack too easy, and when they do say good bye to your car cause its going up in flames.
My 76 had one on it when I bought it. Had no choice but to drive it home with it on but it was the first thing to go.
