Re: Added fuel filter... now slow (long time) to start?
I agree with all those that say filter before the pump is not ideal. On most of the older cars and trucks I've had over the years I have incorporated a GM filter like the GF481 or a smaller one like the Summit SUM-G1517 into the metal or braided line from the pump to the carb. It's very easy to splice into the line and add a quality filter. A few fittings, two flares, a beer and it's done, safe, and easy to change once a year.
I think in your case the longer start time is a coincidence, maybe weather related?
All that being said I had a metal filter under the cab of my 72 for many years with no issues.
