Placing filter at the pump creates the possibility of collected dirt flowing back down into the pump and crudding it up. Of course that can happen where i have it mounted too but to a much lesser degree because the filter is mounted horizontal.

ALSO, mounting near the pump would require more effort in terms of plumbing. The filter flow is DIRECTIONAL. Mounting it my way ONLY requires removing the flare fitting that screws into the nipple in the filter body then install the Ford filter and bend the line ever so slightly.
Mounting at the Catrer filter requires NO mofifications to any of the original parts other than deleteing the one fitting as mentioned above and a very slight bend to the fuel line.
