My 56 truck w/235 and had been running real rough/stalling/not starting. So I rebuilt the carb and tuned it up and it ran great. For 2 weeks and several hundred miles. Now exactly same issue came back. So I suspect dirty fuel and am going to put in a fuel filter (and then disassemble and re-clean the carb again).

I have a fuel filter I bought from Jim Carter (pn ME668) that I am trying to splice into my fuel line. I went over to Advance Auto and he suggested I get a couple of 1/8" MNPT-1/4" Hose fittings and splice them in using a small section of 1/4" fuel line and clamps.

I figure there has to be a better looking way to get that filter into the line. Can somebody give me a few tips or ideas? Any advice would be appreciated.
