Looks very nice.

Some info on what the filter is would be appreciated.

I mounted my electric fuel pump and filter in the right rear side well so I could still have a spare tire. Plus there was already electrical wiring there so it was easy to combine the wiring and not look out of place.

Nice work on your restoration. Very impressive.
