Jim,
You can buy a metal (no plastic) in-line filter at most places.
(maybe even Wal-Mart)
Make sure the input/output hose size is correct.
I have one on the output of my tank so no dirt
gets into my fuel pump or carbs. It has been there for
many years. When you install it
make sure the hose between the tank and the filter is
a few inches long so you can pinch off the gas when
you change the filter. Also keep it up near the frame
of the car so the line won't be knocked loose while driving.
For extra fun, put one of those clear glass in-line filters
between the pump and the carbs. This lets you know if
the carbs are getting fuel. (very handy when your car won't
start or quits running.)
