The B model carb has the fuel line inlet on the facing fwd on the carb. With the fuel SOV on the firewall, is there any provision for a fuel filter either in the valve, line or carb inlet?

A 1931 side bowl filter can be installed on the B carb.

If it is a b engine there is a filter screen in the fuel pump. I also have a bullet type filter in tje line from the tank to the fuelpump.

Thanks. I do have the side bowl that I can put on. I like the air cleaner. Know where it came from?

I have had a "B" motor in my 68C with "A" manifolds & a side bowl carb for yrs. It runs strong & works well.
