SBC fuel filter questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, after last weekend's cleaning out of my carburetor to get my engine from running over with gas I decided to revisit my fuel filter setup. My current setup involves one of those glass replaceable element filters. I've been catching all kinds of rust particles from my gas tank, and the sand that ended up in the fuel bowls was the finer stuff the filter can't catch.

Questions:

1. Should I think about putting a filter BEFORE the fuel pump if my gas tank is shedding so much debris? If so what kind?

2. Do you guys like the idea of using a finer/cheaper fuel filter after the glass one to catch the finer stuff before it goes to the carburetor?

3. In general what would be the fuel filter setup you guys would use for 3/8" fuel line?
