LonnieC, I have not had any luck finding a 60 degree NPT, and the 45 degree one I tried will not work. So I am going to add two 90's to the filter. One connecting to the carb inlet, the other to the new hard line. Is there any reason why this would be a bad idea?
Also I think with out a small gasket like we discussed, the filter would be more like a spigot. Here are the gaskets I made up last night.
