Hi guys, looking for opinions/advice with respect to using bronze internal fuel filters in a Holley carb. I've heard that they are much more restrictive than an in-line filter.
My '72 LT-1 has an aftermarket pump-to-carb fuel line with an in-line fuel filter attached by 2 relatively short pieces of rubber hose. I'm thinking of replacing this setup with an original-style LT-1 hard-line, scrapping the in-line filter and using the internal bronze filters in the carb. I'm considering this for 2 reasons. First, rubber fuel lines make me nervous, and secondly, I really like the original look.
So what do you think? Will the bronze filters have much, if any adverse affect on performance? Is it worth it? What would you do?
THANKS!
Scott.
