I like that your trying to keep things original. You may want to do a search on glass fuel bowls . Once the parts are replaced, it seems the bowls start leaking, which leads to tightening the knob on the bowl. End result is the bowl cracks and you have a fire. Don't want to scare anybody but even GM did away with them. I will be using a good inline filter. I have all the 2x4 fuel lines and bowl, but not using it.
This one was in a boat......

I am trying to keep it some what original, and for the most part it is, BUT.... if once I start to fire it up on the engine run stand and I see a drip or leak of any sort, I will in fact change it, I had many versions of the glass fuel bowl on my old chevy's and will maintain that look, if I can. However its not critical to me, I mean I have all the original pulleys and etc. but chose a MARCH Serpentine system, the fuel pump is not original, nor the Doug's Headers, everything else is original, but I am building this car with original, Mikes ideas, and aftermarket parts, I am looking for dependability, when I turn the key it must, absolutely MUST go VRoooooom, without fail each and every-time, that is my goal anyways, after the bugs are worked out, its a cruiser for me, not a points inspection type car going through concourse judging every weekend, while I appreciate those guys, I am not that guy. Thanks for looking out!!!
