Default fuel tank screen

I posted this a few months ago about my car bogging down when I stick my foot in it. I have checked every possible cause of this, that I can think of. So, I decided to drop the tank and look what I found, (not the production sheet, it was not there).



Also the fuel line from the tank to the steel line on the frame was routed over the frame rail instead of behind it. I know the screen is a problem and the line is not right, but do you feel that this will cause a significant problem with bogging? There is also "floaters" in the bottom of the tank. I am going to replace the screen and clean the tank, reroute the line, anything else while I am there? Thanks for any other ideas.

Not sure if all the crud in your tank will cause it to bog, but for sure it's not helping anything. Change the filter in the carb too.

I had a similar problem with my '73. I took the tank off and put it back together without the screen since there is a filter in the carb.
