Jeff Ive had plenty of 66s that were untouched and the last picture posted above is correct for a non a/c car.
I reproduce all the fuel lines(and have for over 30 yrs) .
A friend who was a Delco engineer of that era told me GM would never use over 12 inches of rubber in the engine bay due to risk of fire,
but when I showed him this set up,he reneged .
FYI the 66 a/c was same as early 67 which has a support bracket around the filter.
The OEM filter was superseded many years ago with a smaller diameter version which I was forced to use.
I simply wrapped the bracket in split fuel line to take up the slack.

I have since acquired some NOS filters that are correct.Olds was the most common application for those.

Jeff,

The new owner of my Old 66 send me this pic of the Fuel Filter Housing, I can't say for sure that it is factory as Ionly bought the car in 97, but everything else was stock on the car, and I was the 3rd owner. And it still had an A/C Delco Filter on it. And it is an Aircondition Automatic Car.
