Pop's has a 70 GTX 440, has started stalling weirdly, and we're wondering if it is a fuel filter issue - pops says he's not sure he's ever changed it in the 36yrs he's owned it.

It is a metal canister looking thing with not just an in and out nipple, but a little extra one that seems to go back to the tank.

Anyone know where to get that type? RockAuto / O'Reilly doesn't have it.

Not really a filter in a conventional sense, but the original units were vapor separators used to prevent vapor lock in 440, 440-6, & Hemi applications. If you want to keep it original including the mounting tab using the outer fuel pump bolt, here's one. If not, the wix should work. Also check the length of your fuel pump pushrod. Should be 3.22". If it's undersize it can create symptoms such as you described. Been there.
