Fuel filter location

I had installed a fuel pressure gauge when I started having issues to see what the pressure is. The edlebrock tech I spoke to said it needs to be no higher than 6-6.5 psi. I was running 7 and 8 psi so I got the regulator.

I was thinking maybe the filter location was an issue but I am not so sure now...

Still the car wants to die once fully warmed up.hot.

I've replaced the rubber fuel lines......back by the tank, just a short piece, and then at the front, to the fuel pump.

I just got back a while ago from a ride....drove around just fine for a good 20 miles or so.....ran great...then as I got closer to home, it wanted to die when stopped, in drive..........as I got closer to home, same as yesterday, it got uglier.

Have been messing with it in the garage now for a good couple hours.....tried different variables:

Swapped in a new ignition module
Swapped in a new ballast
Checked coil readings....16k or so between either terminal and the center, low ohms across the two terminals
Voltage at the coil is around 6.8 or so when not running.....higher , like 8.9 , while running
Tried different rod springs
Tried different settings of the IMS screws, a half turn at a time, either way
Tried bumping up the throttle screw a bit, by 1/4 turn...idled faster but still no good.
Tried adjusting fuel pressure from 5 to 6, then to 4

In all cases, the engine idles, starts running poorly at some point and then dies out on its own unless I gas it.

Fuel filter still looks like it doesnt have much gas in it, but the carb is getting fuel, cause when I work the throttle I get gas there.....

Watched the venturi nozzles a idle and I cant see any gas dripping....

I am at wits end. :banghead:
