You see the screen on the inline filter would not allow the gas to flow freely through it without so many pounds of pressure, these Model A's, unlike my '57 Chevy have no fuel pump, now remember, this is my first A.
Should be about the same as my small block Chevy hot rod...right? Wrong
Well I figured it out, pulled the filter and rigged up to get home, hence the photo.
Rest assured it has been plumbed proper now.
But ain't that a hoot?
The moral of that story is...Model A's and inline filters don't mix.

For the inline, find one for motorcycles as they are designed for gravity flow.

For a filter that goes inside of the glass bowl, I have not read any negatives for the NAPA Fil 3039.
