LD340 Can’t Get The Carb Base To Seal

Also, FWIW, opinions will vary, but I normally never run a fuel filter in that location on a V8. I usually put the filter in the supply line from the tank just before the fuel pump. A LOT of factory applications had them there, so it's perfectly acceptable. It's a much safer place in case of a leak so as not to have spark introduced by possible contact with ignition wires. I have never once had any trouble with the filter affecting the supply of fuel putting it on the suction side and I've been doing it like that better than 30 years.
