Dave,
I had a similar problem on my injected engine with the Lucas system. I tried a variety of different size filters and my problem was the fuel metering unit being in the way as it was driven off the distributor shaft. In the end I used a fairly stubby filter positioned at about 9 o’clock and everything was fine. As long as you ensure you use a filter with an anti drain valve, it’ll stay full when the engine isn’t running and none of the ‘death rattle’ on a cold start. At least it worked for me without issues but I’m sure you’ll get plenty of ‘variable’ advice :)
