glass fuel filter on a 69

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with this, however, I would like to state that Ma Mopar placed a 
whole lot of rubber fuel hose in the engine compartment of my '79 
Ramcharger.  I assume it's desirable to have a little rubber hose to allow 
for motion and vibration and keep the metal line from cracking. My truck had 
so much that it would kink right out of the fuel pump and cause problems.
