255 walbro w/ 12a filter???
As in the title will it work (i.e. will the filter flow enough fuel to keep the pump safe and deliver a sufficient amount of fuel to a DHLA dellorto) or should i upgrade to the SE filter and filter fittings?

The DHLA will only need ~2.5 psi of pressure and about 40-50 gph of flow. That walbro is
meant for a fuel injection setup and you would have to put in place a return regulator to
get the carb inlet pressure down to spec.
And no the stock filter will probably not work with the walbro. The walbro is overkill for the
carb so its a mute issue.

right. I understand that the walbro is over kill. I have an aeromotive 13301 regulator and fuel pressure gauge. the carb is temperary. i just want to know if the 12a fuel filter will provide enough flow to protect the fuel pump or should i go with the 13b stuff. Thanks

okay, thanks. Maybe i should say what I have done already instead of assuming everyone knows. I have done a complete tare down and rebuild on the car. I have upgraded the fuels that i got from an SE donor car. I wouldn't even be asking the question if I wasn't stupid and left the SE fuel filter on the car. Now without having the stock banjo bolts for the filter, and mazda wants about $45 just for the bolts and the hard lines are near impossible to find. Anyway, it seems to be that he thought is, " I wouldn't risk it." Right? Thanks for the info.

its probably easier to run something like an FC fuel filter, its just got hose barbs, so you get to skip the finding weird fittings step
the 12A filter is fine, but its meant for low pressures, any plastic body filter is.

Yeah, the fittings for those banjo bolts are some crazy aeronautic or british thread pitch.
But if the FC filter is just as good as the SE filter than I'll go that route.
