Hi, no, not glass, but those clear see thru fuel
filters. I have been using them since the 70s and never had any problem with
any. Even with the MTBE shitgas Houston has.
Yes it is houston CAR B QUE time again, when the
festering boil of a freeway system we have is alive with Chevys and Toiletotas
in flames. One reason why I always carry a fire extinguisher in all my AMCs, to
help out others like this poor bastard here with a Pontiac Grand Prick. Inside
the car was Danzig and Metallica CDs, that migth have caused the fire. Dumbass
here pulls into a gas station when car went up in flames, that is like wiping
your butt before you crap, or putting Ben Gay on open wound.

Glass fuel filters in the engine bay BAD IDEA! If glass breakes you have
gas pumping guess where? Can you say crispy Texas BBQ?
One more thing that Davis mentions. You have
all these fucking 'designer' fuels all over the US. What you find in Houston
will not be same you find in Orlando, which will be different that crap in
Phoenix and so forth. These 'blends' are added to fuel at refineries headed
towards certain destinations. To clean the air, but also to make you vomit
if stuck in traffic smelling that shit. Sometime I also do on several of my
cars is run, not one, but TWO clear fuel filters. One in front of the fuel
pump BEFORE the fuel pump and behind the frame rail. The other is on top of
the engine right in front of the carb. This is the one to watch as if you
see it bubbling when car is running, chances are it is either running too
hot, but also going to have air bubbles getting in line/carb. I do not know
enough about the laws of combustability, however, know that it ain't good to
have the fuel bubbling before it gets to carb either.

CHarlie,
It definitly sounds like your getting vapor lock. Make sure you
wrap (or move or both) the fuel line and NOT the headers with the heat
wrap. If you wrap the headers they will rot out in no time!
My starter is high performance and spins the motor like a champ -
hot or cold. Interesting theory about the gas line. In general,
there seems to be a lot of heat under the hood. Perhaps some header
tape would not be a bad idea.
