And in this day and age of cheap manufacturing and aggressive fuel mixes is a real problem. (See my WMB thread for my recent hose findings. Post 380)
The plastic fuel filters are known to deform over time and leak. Not to mention they are not very heat resistant.

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going to change the fuel line from pump to carb but just looking at options. I like the idea of all steel and may do the edelbrock with filter adapter then get bendable 3/8 line to finish it off. Does the threads on the bendable fuel line fit the Edelbrock 8126 threads or are there adapters needed?
