The inline filters have more capacity that the one in the carb so they won't plug as fast if you get a load of bad fuel. But as paul 74 stated, the filter in the carb is plenty.

sorry for the ignorance but what is an AN fitting type fuel filter

I installed this filter and tubing on my former 1967. It is -AN6 (3/8"): Army/Navy 37* single flare.

I used both but felt more comfortable with the solid tubing. The braided line is simply rubber with a fancy covering. And that rubber is subject to deterioration that can't be seen. But there is no doubt that it is a much simpler way of connecting things up.

BTW, here are AN 37* fittings.

You make the solid tubing yourself.
