I may consider it when I have to do it on my '88.

Yeah, I think that is "the fix" on these as well. The only trouble spot for this would be the hard line going to the injector side. The supply line is rubber, and would easily reach a relocated filter.
I guess one has to do this sort of thing on any specific application before we get sufficiently motivated to pursue alternatives. We are all inherently optimistic - how bad can it be? Other people do it...
So, yeah, this time I was ill prepared to modify anything. All I had on hand was the new filter. Next time, though... I'm going to do a bit of research and see what other guys have come up with. The hard line will have to be replaced, and God only knows where it terminates on the injector end. I can't see where, but I didn't look all that hard. Maybe fab up an adapter line from the existing hard line to wherever the filter winds up. I dunno... maybe I won't even own it long enough to care again. We'll see.
