I have  one of those in the '66, just ahead of the fuel pump in the engine  
compartment.  It's a handy way to see if there's fuel in the system, so I  
was thinking of doing it here.  The other spot would be where the body  and 
engine lines connect, but I'm not sure if I could see it and there's the  
same issue of it getting hit by something off the  tire.

A friend (RIP Don) used a glass filter in the same location until it was  
broken by a disintegrating fan belt.  Luckily he smelled the gas before it  
caught fire.
 
I've used a metal inline filter in the left wheel well where the rubber  
hose connection is, but I wouldn't use plastic there.  The problem is that  
metal filters are getting harded to find at the local FLAPS.
