While shooting a fuel problem, I found a fuel filter in the back of the car, just off of the fuel tank. I have heard different stories about this. Should it be there or was it a "jury rig" by one of the previous owners. The car is a Fulie Roadster. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: '63 fuel filter(s)

I know of no originally-installed fuel filters mounted in the vicinity of the fuel tank for any 63-74 Corvettes. When fuel filters were used, they were either of the in-line variety mounted somewhere between the fuel pump and carburetor (or FI unit) or mounted in the inlet fitting of the carburetor.
Is this fuel filter of an in-line variety connected by hoses/clamps at either end to steel fuel line with the filter, itself, otherwise unsupported? If so, this is a very non-PRODUCTION-like installation which I doubt that GM would have ever installed under any circumstances.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

Re: '63 fuel filter(s)
The 300, 340, and 360 HP engines used an AC GF90 fuel filter that has threaded fittings. The 250 HP engine used a sintered bronze filter that was installed in the carb. fuel inlet. There was no fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump.
