Though I would add what I found.

Here in my are of SoCal..the WIX 33737 goes for 45-52 bucks.
CSK(Oreilly) also sells one marked Microguard 33737 (same part number as WIX so maybe made by WIX?) for 19.99.

Wow that Microguard price is tempting. I haven't dealt with Wix enough to know they are a reliable brand. I think I may pay more for something I know will work but then again I really don't want to spend $70 for something that I can get for $20.

That is a good deal depending on what fuel lines one will be using. By the way I just bought the WIX filter on Ebay for $30.00 shipped.

FYI, I have made over 1,000 HP fuel injected, with-6 or 3/8 fuel line.
If you have any doubt you can go to the experts on fuel,

http://www.weldonracing.com/catalog.phtml

Get the catalog and look at the last page. It gives fuel flow to size line and that will tell you what HP you can generate. The only variable is the type of fuel you are running.

Hope this helps UN-complicate your fuel systems.

Anyone reading here know if it matters (safe?) or not if I mount this Fuel filter/FPR to my firewall behind the engine?
If not on the firewall, how about the back of the drivers side head?
Does this have to be grounded to the frame?

Mixes answers for sure.
I ended up mounting it right on the fuel rail. Works great.
I may end up relocating to frame rail if I ever get more hose and fittings.
