There really should be a filter above the pump (under the gas tank.) Put on in if it's really not there. Otherwise replace it.

Doesn't the same hose fit both? I've got to admit that it's been so long since my 68 disappeared that I've forgotten about that oval pipe. > Anyway...the overflow hose > that runs through the fender was completly rotten.
