    Well I would but there are huge bolts on the tubing as they wouldn't fit (screw) onto the universal part.

    If its rubber fuel line . Any filter with the same inlet outlet diameter will fit just match up the tube size to the filter and slap on a couple hose clamps .., just like first80ypta said .. Your never screwed man built machine man fix machine ha

    I would try and figure out how to get the glass bowl off without breaking it, it might just come off hopefully without issue as they are as good as anything and never need replacement

    My 76 started doing the same thing out of nowhere, and got progressively worse. Replaced the plugs, cap, rotor, points, wires and still the same thing. Has a misfire and shaky idle, but under load it really sputters and has a total loss of power unless i go full throttle. Under wide open throttle WOT it accelerates hard with out misfiring... so weird. I know there is at least one vacuum leak b/c when i spray carb cleaner around the carb, the idle surges. I just dont think a vaccum leak would cause this. I'll try and fix it and post the results of what happened.

    As far as your fuel filter goes, you should be able to cut the metal lines to the filter and just clamp so rubber hose on there so u can use a universal filter.

    We're you able to isolate the cause? My '74 does the same thing. I've replace the carborator, vacuum hoses, plugs, adjusted throttle linkage, etc. I likewise am suspecting either fuel filter and maybe pump.
