Removing tank and having it lined (brother has a shop for that, will be less and faster than new tank) and adding a inline filter is now a high priority. I guess the QJet filter in the carb sucks....
It looks like you found the problem. A bunch of rust traveling from your tank to the filter, clogging it. After it's clogged, it is pushed out of the way due to fuel pressure against the spring. Then a particle of it can get stuck in the needle and seat, flooding. If you don't have rust in the fuel, the Quadrajet inlet fuel filter is all you need. That's the only fuel filter I use.
