My opinion is that they cause more trouble than they prevent.  For example,
a tablespoon of water will totally block a modern filter, leaving you
calling for a flatbed; while the original sediment bowl will hold several
times that amount with no problem at all.  Just empty it at your next oil
change.

Should be some soft line at the inlet to the fuel pump and, depending on
vintage, again at the connection to the carbs.  But most likely you'll have
to cut out a section of hard line to add a filter.
