Correct Fuel Filter Location '78 FJ40LV

Just because you got a new fuel pump doesn't mean its good. A $10 electric fuel is cheap backup.

I suspect this is fine...but one thing I noticed when I pulled my old filter off is that it was reversed from the
correct flow. Yes there is an inlet and outlet specific port. If you reverse the ports then the rust/trash build up
is "inside" the filter and not visible. The correct orientation will have the rust/trash build up on the outside (visible)
part. So while my old filter "looked" fine ... it was actually completely clogged.

Good thinking. Just double checked it. Looks correct.

Blew the line back into the gas tank. Ran it for about an hour with no issues today.

Got her all waxed up after sitting for 15 years

You keep an electric one in the truck or in line?

I only run a electric pump in Elsie and my F150. I keep a spare in each rig. I also have a fuel transfer pump using the same unit, about $50 to make.
Switched, fused, filtered 5' draft 20' delivery with a 12' power cord that plugs into the cig lighter or clamps to the battery. Plus it will work with diesel. You can reverse the hoses to harvest fuel if needed. I have made like 10 of them for family/friends. Beats holding up crappy pouring 5 gallon fuel cans.
