Can I find one at my local parts store or do I need to order one online?

Thanks,
Matt

Same filter as a non cc qjet you just need to find out what size it is and it should be avalible at a local auto parts store for 2/3 bucks. They are very common filter. GL!

For the money you spend, I would ditch the CC Q-jet inlet filter altogether and put in an inline aftermarket filter that flows and filters better. The stock CC Q-jet fuel filter is somewhat restrictive...especially since it is right as the fuel enters the carb. AN aftermarket one is fairly cheap and will help performance some. But as mentioned above...you can get stock ones about anywhere.

So if I use the inline filter should I just pull the old one out and put the screws back in it with no filter? Also...where at should I put the inline filter?

Screws?

The stock filter is behind the inlet adapter fitting to which the fuel line mounts to the carb. Take off the fuel line (5/8" wrench on the line nut with a 1" open-end wrench keeping the adapter from turning), then remove the adapter. The filter will be behind the adapter with a spring behind the filter.

The only advantage of having the carb filter if you have an in-line filter is the anti-drainback check valve. However, I'm running my in-carb filter with the check valve removed with no problems.

Unfortunately, there isn't a good place to mount that fat in-line filter within the tight places under our hoods. Just replace the in-carb filter - you'll be fine. In the wide-open spaces of my '57 engine compartment, I run an in-line just off the fuel pump, no in-carb filter.
