Holley Carb Question
 

On the 69 L78 or L89 camaros where are the fuel filters located.

Re: Holley Carb Question
 

A bronze filter was installed in the carb inlets where the fuel line attaches. They were notorious for causing stumbling and rough running problems over time and many people discarded them and installed a high flow inline filter.

I was sure that was the case. Where is the best place to hid an inline filter to keep the solid fuel lines from the pump to the carb intact? Thank You

In the area where the fuel line exits the tank would be good. Obviously, you'll have to modifiy the fuel line which may not be a good idea on a original car if thats what you have.

This is an original car, but hiding the filter is not that big of deal to me. I guess I could use a Q-Jet type filter and fab a new solid line from the filter to carb block,then plug the return line out of the filter. Any ideas appreciated.

at the back where the rubber line from the tank hooks to the fuel line is where i have mine you can see it behind the rear tire but you have to get down to see it

Re: Holley Carb Question
 

The solid line from the tank is attached to the fuel pump with a short section of hose. Get an AC stamped filter from one of the repro houses and stick it inline there... You don't have to get under the car and the AC stamp lends itself to period correct. I don't think many will fault you for added fuel filtering even on a stock restoration...

I had thought about using that spot, just did not think of using an AC stamped filter. Good idea!
Thank You Dennis

Perhaps I missed something here...

The original question was 'where to hide a inline fuel filter' on a big block 69 Camaro.

Installing any inline filter visable in the engine bay don't cut the mustard on a original car AC stamped or otherwise.

There are other alternatives.

Re: Holley Carb Question
 

There are paper filters available that replace the bronze ones. They work 100% better and the best thing no modifications necessary.
