I haven't looked at any shop or assembly manuals to determine if they were
stock items or not, but they are era typical add-ons at least. As far as
"do they do any good", I'd have to say yes; not only does the stock "filter"
(just a screen on the top of the fuel pump) NOT catch debris small enough to
still clog needle valves & jets, but I have one in place that is always
trapping rust sediment from my tank.
