Mac, I don't recall exactly what I used, but it looks something like a
Summit SUM-230123R:

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-230123r

Generally, these are easy to service and use a fine enough element.

But I also have 10-micron inline metal-can filters back by the tanks (3/8"
hose fittings and much cheaper). This inline filter close to the carb has
not yet needed service in maybe 10 years.
