Leaky Fuel Filter

So my 67 dart gt fuel filter is spraying fuel out. It's a 273 with a 500cfm edelbrock carb (brand new, maybe 200 miles on it) I'm on my 3rd fuel filter in 1 day. I've removed the Top of the carb to see if it was plugged up, nothing. The tank, sending unit and lines are new, wich was evident by the way I found nothing in the carb. Variables 1. I recently replaced the distributor with an O'REILLYS one, while I rebuild the original. 2. I recently found ethanol free gas and topped her off (about 3/4 of a tank). Stupid question time, would that mixture be an issue? And could the mechanical fuel pump be the problem? Also it's leaking from the line side not the carb side of the Filter

Leaking on the pump side at the filter and not the carb side? Get rid of those short hoses. Buy some standard fuel line hose that is the same ID as the line is OD and the filter as well. Clamp it with the proper size Ideal/Triton worm style hose lamp. No Substitutes! Push the hose on a inch or two and clamp it twice if needed.
