I picked up a couple of Earl's filters a local speed shop.  They come
with AN-6 fittings on each end, Summit p/n EAR-230106ERL.  They have
replacable elements, and they cost about $30 each.  Unfortunately, I
now find that they are only rated at 75 psi, and the pump will put out
95 psi.  Looks like I need to look at the GM filters also.

If you find not so good information in the Wiki, you are totally
empowered to change it.  :)

Sorry, I don't remember where I bought my Saginaw to AN6 fittings.  I bet Ed remembers.
