Needle valve in carburetor may be leaking. You will see your oil level overfull and smell gasoline mixed with the oil if that is the case. Float could also be stuck.

Why would a 71 El Camino stall when you have replaced the fuel pump dropped the fuel tank and changed the lines but the fuel filter doesn't stay full?

If there is an inline fuel filter between the pump and the carburetor and it does not stay full, the problem is not a leak between the filter and the carb, nor is it a float problem in the carb. It is either a leak on the vacuum side of the pump between the tank and the pump (usually in the area of the tank) or the fuel cap is not allowing air into the tank. As the fuel level drops in the tank a vacuum will form and stop the flow of fuel out of the tank. There is probably a leak where the fuel line attaches to the carburator, or the hose connections on the filter. If the fuel line can see air, it will drain all of the gas in it back to the tank. I'd say there is a leak between the filter and the carb. might be a bad float or stuck needle valve in the carb. this is obvious if the engine is flooding (lots of black smoke) before it stalls

If you are told a full service on a car includes a fuel filter is this a verbal agreement that the filter will be changed?

If they told you full service included the filter change and you agreed to full service then you agreed to a filter change and you had a meeting of the minds and a verbal agreement. If they did not change the filter they have broken the agreement.
