Fuel filter position

[dandan62]

I have a basic set up. 1600 pinto with a Weber carb, original machanical pump and regulator. Up till now I have relied on the tiny mesh filter in the carb. I think it's time to fit a proper in line one. Best place to fit it? For convenience and easiness to see I would fit it between the regulator and carb. Could fit before the mechanical pump and regulator though. Is there any benefit either way?

Cheers

Personally I'd fit it before the pump so it can remove any debris before it does any damage.

Thank you. My only thought was could the old pump and regulator throw out some crud. There are probably pros and cons..
