In this pic from the site the fuel filter is on top of the intake.
I see the return line that older AC cars used on the filter like on my 64.
Is this a factory setup?
If so what was it on?
I always thought Quadrajets had the filters in the fitting and AC cars had the return line on the fuel pump.

That fuel filter is not a factory installation, it has been spliced into the original line.

Note the kinked bend in the fuel line coming directly out of the carb to try to make room for the filter.
