How do I get from A to B?

Dude - is that the same year? My brothers had the filter screwed directly into the carb -a Ford type filter. And I have a couple carbs from AMC with the filter screwed into the carb..... 

In any case, buy a metal filter. Those plastic ones are trouble.

Billd, 71 to 74 used this type of arrangement for 2bbl engines on Javelins. Yes we are on the same page mostly... though he is got me going on many others, and I am realing. Amazing that i have kept mostly straight in keeping facts proper.

I believe so... never took a 2bbl apart. Though many of the Motorcrafts have a wee screen filter at the inlet. I was mostly trying to properly show the inlet line in how it alines. It points directly to the fender, which the fuel line end from the pump when properly installed with point directly to the inlet pipe. Tye filter will fit right in line with the two 1.5" fuel hose segments when mounting.

Oh, ok, got it. Then my fuel pump line must have been custom fabbed when they put the Torker intake and four barrel carb on back in the 1970's. I'll have to throw out that fuel pump line and have a new one bent at the auto parts store that lines up with the one coming out of the carb in the picture above.

I was selling it to a member and removed it to post the images. Have 4 or 5 pictures stored here, just was easier to show it upside down at the time.

Before removal, it ran well, just needed a good cleaning and rebuild from sitting so many years.

Outside of the dirt and grime, it was fairly clean inside, the buyer ended up doing the cleaning and rebuilding himself, to put on his daughters I6 to replace the smaller 2bbl.

Billd, should I state its one of the first 2100 series updraft carb used in the aero Javelin back in the 70s? Or better yet anti vapor look version... though techs had problems when carb was not hot.
