On every Motortrend TV show I constantly see rubber fuel line and plastic filters feeding carbs. Big no no. I’ve said it here before but only factory type steel feeding carb. You can see what a little fuel splash from testing with air cleaner off or just a lot of heat and fumes can do. Degrades from outside in. “New” rubber hose ages way faster than expected and fire results. In-line add-on filter should go before pump in factory rubber hose at right front cross member. This way no additional hose is added. And use a barb/barb metal filter by Wix or other name brand, not plastic.
We had to drop the tank on a 7000 mile 89 Turbo Trans Am (involves dropping transverse exhaust and some suspension parts) because some “genius” used non submersible 1.5” hose piece in tank and it was spraying back into tank giving only 5 PSI at port injection fuel rail. No go.
