Fuel Filter before pump

I just finished a rebuild of my 360cid for my Ramcharger and made several upgrades including a Holley Avenger carb and an Edelbrock



110gph fuel pump. Any reason I can't or shouldn't put the fuel filter before the pump (tank side) so that I can clean up the plumbing from the pump to the carb. I would like to have a clean look with the braided line and AN fittings only from pump to carb.

I appreciate any thoughts

Don't see why not. Some manufacturers put a filter on the intake pipe inside the tank to protect the entire system (but a bitch to replace when it needs to be). I put a good filter on the gas line of one of my vehicles right up close to the tank. Just make sure you use a good high performance (high flow rate) filter with replaceable elements or cartridges (and install it so you can reach it to replace the elements).
