FUEL LINE (4 of 6)
SUPPORT BRACKET AND PCV HOSE
I made a second bracket to support the filter/inlet housing. The cylindrical end that contains the fuel filter is massive, and being cantilevered out like that it looked like it would want to rotate at the inlet fitting. I found a steel corner bracket that worked with a little modification. The base of the bracket is mounted on a carburetor stud (I had to buy a longer one) and the other end clamps to the cylindrical section holding the filter.
Filter/inlet housing secured to bracket.
The last item was the PCV hose. It needed to be rerouted because the inlet/filter housing was now in the way. All I had to do was turn the air cleaner extension piece about 90 degrees counterclockwise and fab up a new hose. I used two 90 degree sections of molded ¾” hose connected by a coupling to replace the original single 90 degree hose. The original clamps were still good so I reused those.
