Big Block Fuel Pump to Carb Line

‘67 383 Barracuda:

I made these fuel lines, but now I’m not so sure what I have done is a good idea. I wanted to get rid of rubber hose and clamps and still have it somewhat factory appearing. I put the carb inlet on the backside because I didn’t like how cramped the filter and hose was up by the distributor. I think I have the inlet of the filter backwards I’ll swap that the other way.

That filter style is from the ‘60’s corvettes.

Will I have heak soak issues? Did I make a fuel heater with my contraption?

Where does the factory put the fuel filter?
