If you can not get a 90 degree fitting you may be able to find a 90 degree
street elbow and just screw the fitting into that.
I placed my filter under the hood right before the carbs (but away from the
exhust manifold) Easier to change and it will filter anything that comes from
the fuel line.

Subject: [Spridgets] Tips or examples installing my Facet pump,
hose never fits right.
List,
I am installing my new Facet fuel pump in the rear like the later Spridgets
and came to a small road block. Below are photos of the location and the new
pump for a better visual. I drained the tank today (the crap ran down my arm
so i am soaked with gas (good thing I quit smoking again this week) and I
was getting ready to cut the fuel line but noticed when I place the pump in
position it is very cramped and I don't see how to get rubber line in
correctly without kinking the line for that 90 degree turn. I couldn't get
to the store in time but I'll try and get a fitting with a 90 degree which
I'm sure they won't have the correct thread size or the end will be huge. I
also checked my rubber line and it is 1/4" as I recall our lines are smaller
than stock fuel line and are a pain in the ass to fit because we end up with
larger hose. Is there a specialty parts shop who will have a fitting for
small hose?
Why is this such a PITA it just shouldn't be. Looking at the filter that
came with the pump I won't be able to fit any hose on that monster can I
remove the filter altogether or maybe get a fitting and a plastic filter?
Also I remember an old post that said they make teflon tape for fuel, who
would have that?
If anyone can send me a photo of their setup I would be appreciative.
