Re: Holley carb filters...
There is also a nylon mesh filter made by AC Delco that will fit where the original bronze filter went. It will only keep out the big chunks. It was used in some marine application. I'll check tonight and see if I have any left and get you the part #.

Re: Holley carb filters...
If you are running good clean gas the sintered bronze fuel filters will do fine, IMHO as long as you change them frequently. They do clog quicker than the paper elements. Of course, for all out racing (which is what the Chevrolet Power Catalog was addressing) there is no question a large in line filter gives more protection.
Just my 2 cents. Lynn

I'll keep looking and when I find them I'll post pictures and part #'s.

Re: Holley carb filters...
They do make paper pleated filters to replace the bronze units

Re: Holley carb filters...
I've ran the paper filters before, and the ones I had didn't seem to fit *just* right...so I eventually went back to the rock-type filter...but, I may look into the mesh units John is speaking of...
