Those dark flakes in the filter are pieces of the coating
coating coming
off the inside of the tanks.  Say thank you
to the EPA idiots requiring
alcohol in the gas.

1,  You MUST remove the tanls and have them coated.
     
Easy but messy to do.  The ist has talked about this often.
      Eastwwod
sells kit, so does JC Whitney.
2.  If you are still driving the car, you
should install a filter
     in the fiel line before the pump.  This will
protect the pump.
    A filter after the pump is too late.

Eventually the
flakes will pump the line and your out of gas.  Also
the flakes can jam the
pump mechanisms.

So Alex, join us all with coated tanks.

Just a note in
followup--the Edelbrock carb is now installed on an Edelbrock
F4B with stock
air filter and so far so good. I've
driven it maybe ten miles...

The fuel
filter has some dark orange flakes in it and will be swapped for a
new one but
so far so good.
