I do however agree with you on the OEM, it does a great job, BUT, i have seen guys cross thread the fine threads on the carb body. So infact, the job becomes much easier, with less potential big problems, with a external filter of the proper design

As with any install on these ol trucks, its up to the installer to do quality work
I started a thread about filters installed between the pump and tank versus the pump & carb. Go there and we can debate the issue. That plastic when installed between the pump & carb gets old and eventually the pump pressure will cause it to crack spraying fuel under the hood. If a carb inlet becomes cross threaded all is not lost. there is a oversize self tapping replacement inlet fitting available. Ive never cross threaded one.
