Hello What i need is one that looks like the inline type with hose barbs, but with 5/16 inverted flare in and out. Been to several parts stores, first thing they ask what car it for. It is a hot rod they go blank. Thanks for reply.

Yeah. What gets me is when I go to a parts store, give them the part number and they ask what car it's for. I suppose their computer is programmed to fill in that blank so they can proceed to look up what shelf the part is on. In answer toi your question, could you make a couple of short flared 5/16 tubes and connect a filter with rubber hoses. Probably too messy for a hot rod though.

Thanks John Gave me a thought, if out and in are 5/16 od might be able to flare (male) in and out hose barb ends. Or compression type joint. Might not be enough room for flaring tool and nut though. This would be hot rodding.

Have yu tried Amazon and Ebay? Check Summit and Jegs.  Maybe look into something like this. AN fittings, but there are adapters available

Hello Yes I have searched after market filters. Problem is making is work by adaptors makes total length too long. Surely somebody must make one. Thanks Paul

Paul, as I sat in my porch swing enjoying the morning breeze, my mind must have awoken to your search. I realized that not exactly an inliine filter, there are cannister type filters with 5/16 inverted flare ports on each side of a cannister, of which the bottom half of the canister unscrews to access a pleated paper filter about 2inches diameter and 3 inches tall (rough estimates). I have one on one of my Y-Blocks. I think they were used on some Ford trucks back in the day. The replacement filter element carries a '64 part number. I think mine came off a Y-block powered truck. GM used that style on school buses back in the 60s, but they had 3/8 inverted flares.

Along the same thought process as John, here are a couple of pictures of a canister filter off of a 223 Ford six cylinder that’s been adapted to a Ford Y. This particular filter has a 5/16” inverted flair on its inlet side and a 5/16” nipple on the outlet side.

Are you describing something similar to these inline canister filters, but want a metal slimline inline filter?

Thanks Ted and Kultulz. Ted I should have explained more to what Iam attempting to do. Planning on using a Ford VR S/C. Fab a bracket in front of the tank (57 Ranchero) for electric FP, but only have room for small inline filter. Added a return line. Iam admiring the fuel line in your pic. Those tight bends are hard to make with hand bender and make they start and stop where you want. Kultulz Probably will use the repo canister type after regulator (like real F-code). A Motorcraft FG-851 filter might work but suspect it is 3/8 size. If in and out are (3/8") inverted (female) might be able to use a short (5/8) of 3/8 tube for nut to center on and sweat a 5/16 into it. Sorry for long reply

Hold on a minute, Can you describe what you are wanting to do?
You're wanting to use a S/C (57 OEM setup) on a FYB but want an electric pump? Full pressure, transfer (through mechanical pump) or primer?
Be careful on the repro canister filter as I heard they leak at the canister.

Just a thought ...
If planning to use the ELECT PUMP as a pressure or transfer (gravity drop), the before pump filter rating should be no larger that 10 microns.
Then 100 microns before the carb/throttle body.

Hello Yes Electric (14 psi) at tank with filter (?) before pump. Stock line to front, short stock type rubber to three port regulator. Rubber hose from regulator bypass to return line back to tank. Fuel regulator is where stock FP was. Fuel line leaves regulator (like stock F-code) with canister type filter before carb. If i cannot find a filter that fits before FP may skip it and go straight from tank to pump. Thanks for comments
