I am thinking of a direct line from the fuel pump to the carb. The po had a filter in this line and it was located just in front of the carb but over the mainfold.

I don't see any problems with it being above the manifold. I have been thinking about adding one in line between the tank and pump, but haven't done it as of yet.

However, if you have a fuel tank with sediment, you really need one before the fuel pump. I used filters in both places when I was running with a cruddy tank. When I finally got a good tank installed, I put in a stock glass filter (with replaceable element) just in front of the carb. | | |
