fuel filter help?
Hi, I have a Holley single feed carb, and I would like to plumb a hard line with a fuel filter in it to the carb. Does anybody know of a fuel filter that fits the following criteria?:
1.) 5/8" x 18 female thread inlet and outlet.
2.) Doesn't cost a scrillion dollars.
I have looked and looked, but connot find one. I don't get it, it would be such a perfect solution, why doesn't somebody make one?

I am not sure what 5/8 by 18 is, but I built a hard fuel line that uses a fuel filter from a late 80s corvette.

I had the same dilemma recently when I was reinstalling the engine in my El Camino, I found the one in this pic at Napa, It is a Napa brand filter, the only downside is the 1/4" bung on the side, I ended up plugging it, but would be a good spot for a fuel pressure gauge if you wanted.
I'll see if I can find the part number if you're interested.

you know with compression fittings you can make just about anything work....summit and Jegs has lots of AN fitting fuel filters.....so you use the compression fittings on the line and have them terminate in the AN fittings and the AN fuel filter goes in between. fuel lines always cost me like $125 to make...

I just bought one of these for my 65 and the price is right. $15. No box comes with it but the filter is exactly as shown.

It's 1/4 I think but I adapted back up to 5/16 on each end. I just put the thing on less than 2 weeks ago and I can't remember
I'll go check later
