What parts store direct replacement screw in fuel filters are folks using in their GT 350s these days? Not looking for historical accuracy here, just something that works and at least kind of looks the part.

Thanks -

Are you using the brass adapter block that goes into the carb like what was original or not . Consequently there are two different filter type alternatives . Both have a aftermarket direct equivalent. ;)

Yes, the large reducer. It's about the same diameter as the filter can.

I know what you mean. For others reading FYI it is not a reducer but a adaptor to adapt the course threads of the typical Ford carb filter FG 15 to the fine threads of the Holley bowl inlet which are fine threads. Some owners who don't care about the original look eliminate the adapter and use a FG14 filter to screw directly into the Holley Bowl.

Got ya - I just assumed reducer due to the size - thanks Bob.
