How about the stock one? Jeep kinda figured it would do the job and
it's cheap.

I don't like the one in the link, it can fit 5/16, so it could restrict
your flow some. Replacement element is nice though....

Yep, they are expensive but in retrospect it depends on what your
protecting and how expensive that is to fix. Carbs clog but can be
fixed. You get dirt into an injector and if you don't burn that piston
from lean running your at least out 60-80$ if it kills the injector.

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/fuelfilters.html

That's not a real big filter like the others. The pictures
on Edelbrock's site gives some reference. Those others are about
4 1/2" long and 1 1/2" in diameter and will filter much longer
before clogging.

You should see the price for my filter. 23$ each. At least they last
for a good long time.

If the filter you are taling about being "good enough" is the brass one
installed behind the fuel fitting, then you need to upgrade it. Holley even
recommends this in their tuning books. Get a good metal inline fuel filter
and take the bronze one out of the carb.
