I don't think you'll find one in Summit, most of the cool looking ones are low pressure parts meant for careburated motors. Any fuel filter will do. I use either the AC one or the Purolator one, found at any parts store.

So a fuel filter is a fuel filter? A fram one wont give any more power than a autozone one? And is it one size fits all?

R.O.B.

Its not a one-size-fits-all thing. You need a filter made for your car. But a filter is a filter. Unlike air, where a filter can restrict flow and rob horsepower, a fuel pump over compensates with enough pressure that the fuel filter can't rob or gain you any horsepower. Just buy a good brand to ensure quality, and your set.

Not true, if you run extremely high fuel pressure your fuel filter can become a restriction. Unlike aifilter where flow is measure in cfm, fuel filters have measured flow rates in gph.

However, for your application however (and for mostly stock 3rdgens), the ac delco one is fine.

From what I've seen I'd stay away from Fram.

Hey I sell fram all day long, there is absolutely nothing wrong with their quality of filters. Their air filters are even made of paper, where the AC Delcos have foam, meaning the fram flows better, the fuel filters are fine, i run one with no problems, and the only bad thing i have to say for them is to stay away from the Doubleguard Oil filters (they have teflon). Other than that one type of oil filter, they are a quality product. Made by the Same guys who make Autolite too.
