I have a large in-line filter installed before the carb so I suppose I could leave the pump filter off, if it was just a filter element inside the canister, if it was no good.

And also as mentioned, a photo of the inline filter would help. It is hard to say how the car was serviced since assembly. If there is a screw-on canister on the fuel pump (and who knows what the pump came off of), the replacement filter element is FG-1 which is still available NOS. The MOTORCRAFT short number will allow you to changeover to an aftermarket element more easily.

FYI- The FG-33 was a complete changeover kit used when FORD began changing from the canister style filter to the inline style. It should also take the FG-1 element if that is what is on the car. The kit mounted on the frame rail adjacent to the pump.
