If you still have your Q-Jet, it's in the carb line.

Actually it's in the carb where the fuel line connects to the carb.

Terry has got it.. in the line entering the carb.. stand in front of the passenger front tire, now look at the front corner of the carb, the line entes the carb halfway up the front and you should see the 2 nuts facing you (no pun intended)... do yourself a favor MAKE SURE YOU USE 2 WRENCHES TO GET THAT NUT OFF, cause that line can twist, then boy oh boy.. so after you replace the in-line filter, add a second by cutting the metal line, adding a few inches of rubber tubing to both cut sides, then buy a external filter you can change every few months.. plus the one in the carb will now last forever..... or till next summer, whichever comes first.
