fuel filter questions

[UserName]

Well I have a 355 4barrel on an 85 ta and I decided to turn my fuel line. From a rubber line going from the mech pump to the carb to a steel line. The problem or concern that I'm running into is I don't know if I should run it with a filter or if I should put the filter before the pump. I'm going to be runnin a 3/8th line , the carb inlet is 3/8th standard thread, and the fuel regulator is also 3/8th on the in and outlet. The pump has a 1/4 sae thread. So the problem I got is the only filter I can find reduces the line too much. And the only ones that I found were not to my liking. So I want to know the risk I would be taking running without a filter or the risk of running it before the pump thanks ahead for the advise

You need a filter right before the carb.

What pump are you running that needs a regulator? Holley blue?
