Hi, Chris.


Do you have a source and part number for that Pyrex bowl filter? Sounds like an excellent suggestion.

Here is a 5/15 one. More common in parts stores is the Spector version with multple size nylon fittings
I have run one of these typeon all of my carb vehicles

To be more clear, Im not advocating removal of the carb filter ! This is a 'pre-filter' ,if you will

Its tempting to simply eliminate the carb filter and go with an inline external filter as they are difficult to access. many a Qjet has been discarded
with boogered threads when people have done it wrong.
BTW there is [or at least was] a kit to repair that.
I run an View -all Pyrex glass filter at a low point before the fuel pump with fuel injection rated hose and double clamps. The plastic ones discolor
with age and become opaque. This enables a visual check of the filter and for water issues as well as a easy drain point with the electric pump. Never
had a leak; if it did it will leak on the ground rather than hot engine components.
In the high performance world the filters are almost always removed as they are a fuel restriction at high flow [especially the pressed brass pettet
type]- more than we will ever need for our application though.
Problem is, stuff can still sloth of at the pump or line and you risk sticking the needle and seat.
For that reason I still have the paper element in place just in case- which with the pre filter should last a long time
