I am putting the final touches on my 74 350. Just about ready to drop it in. Do the 74's have fuel filters? Should I put an inline filter in? Before or after then pump?

If so, what are you guys using? I see soooo many choices on Jegs. Any recommendations that wont break the bank.

The filter is in the carburetor inlet. If you want to put a second one in it should be placed after the pump.

If you're running the Q-Jet, I'd remove the filter that's in the carb inlet and put one in-line. Countless Q-Jets have been accidentally stripped- and it's really easy to do. The in-line filter eliminates any chance of stripping the carb.

Read the paper by Lars on installing a fuel filter.

I don't have his email address at hand, so maybe some else will post it for me. Otherwise search this forum for LARS.
