I have never used the metal filters supplied with the Facet pumps. I have had good luck using the glass/metal filters available from the "bling" section of the local parts store. Those filters use a replaceable plastic mesh screen to keep dirt out of the pump. The glass body lets you see how much crud is in the filter so you know when to change the element.
As you work through replacing the hoses, I suggest you also check and see what pressure the fuel is AT the carbs. Facet sells pumps in many pressure ranges. The previous owner who installed the pump in your car may or may not have chosen the right one. You want the pressure at the carbs to be close to 3 PSI at the MAX.

My car sat for 20 years then ran with new plastic and rubber pieces. I have faith.

I'm thinking just a $6 throw away every couple of years plastic fuel filter right after the Tee where the twin tank lines come together. I'm hoping I can get them cleaned out without pulling them. One side or the other can challenge a persons religious commitments to good and proper English.

The rocker assembly looked so good I just trickled some oil on everything with a straw and my cheeks. With the new battery I expected it to jump right up but I had to rock it back and forth in 4th a couple of times (***Pun Alert*** This is what we profanely call "Not The Best Start"). No plugs in and it spun up oil pressure in about 10 seconds. Plugs in and no cough or choke. Half a straw of gas in each SU and I got a cough. Hence no fuel - The next adventure.
Siphon the tank out. Do some compressed air. Install a filter (suggestions ?) and Sir Robert should be your mother's brother.
