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.

Re: Carburetor woes
Bill, I have to disagree here. The 5/16" line will feed a Holley 670 with no
problem. the restriction in the Holley is the needle diameter at 0.110". The
bigger line won't hurt anything, but he really doesn't need it as long as
his fuel pump pushes a quart of fuel in 15-20 seconds. This is enough fuel
to feed a 300hp engine.

Re: Carburetor woes
You probably think the half inch garden hose is as good as a 5/8'
after all it's going out the quarter in orifice jet nozzle. And think,
it's possible Travis has a sixties duration street cam and stock ten to
one compression that'll be pumping out four hundred horsepower.
