What is the proper location for a fuel filter on a '71 318? Between the fuel tank and the fuel pump? Or, between the fuel pump and the carburetor? Which is the better location?

Is there any good argument for putting it before the fuel pump? Especially considering old fuel tanks/crud?
might as well put it after the fuel pump. It's ultimately going to do the same thing as if you put it before the pump and that is, filter the fuel.

Dan,
Seeing that your car is very original, take a look in a '71 Service Manual (maybe an owners manual). In the first section of the shop manuals I have ('67, '68, '69) there are illustrations showing where to find the fuel filter. For '69 they show; slant six - nearly horizontal about 1/2 way between carb and front of engine; LA - about 35 degrees, about 6-10" above and between heater hose inlet and outlets on the intake; R/RB - nearly vertical to the side of the water pump.
