Fuel filter

[GRILLSERGEANT]

I have a 97 gtx and xp running the filter in the picture, my question is can I run a regular inline filter?

That's not just a fuel filter, that also acts as a fuel-water separator. Should you get water in your fuel tank, it will sit at the bottom of the plastic cup, and you should be checking and emptying that cup periodically.

It was just being a bugger to get a part, but I ordered new ones.

Yes you can run a inline filter. Just make sure it is sealed and good quality. Also proper size for fuel line.

I ordered a new orings and sleves for the one I got, but I was thinking a wix 33003 would have worked.

I have a different opinion on filters. The stock one works great, won't come apart and separates water.
The aftermarket ones will not filter out water and when they come apart or get wet will restrict flow and plug the carb filters.
My opinion is just get s new stock filter and not worry about it for another 20 years.
