Fuel Pump to Filter Line on 273 with AC

[Jim Kueneman]

Does anyone have an early 273 with factory AC that can shoot me some photos of how they ran the line from the pump to the carb with the AC compressor in they way? The non-AC lines I got and photos show that the filter was right over the cam chain cover and there was no way it could have been there with the RV2 in the way...

Thanks,
Jim

I believe @Capt46 had one (for sale a few years back), he may be able to shed some light on this, too.

Jim! I have three factory A/C Darts, both from 1965. I took pictures from my 270 wagon which has a 273 x 2 bbl and the Dart Charger with a 273 x 4 bbl.
Hold on! Let me know if you need more pictures.

Beautiful! That tells me everything I need to know. With an Edelbrock intake I can't quite reproduce the factory 4 barrel but this helps.

Put the gas filter between the metal fuel line coming from the back of the car and the fuel pump in the rubber hose. Also protects your fuel pump from crap if you get a "dirty batch" of gas...
