On my 84 Toronado, 307, 4bbl, the fuel filter is located in the base of the carb.

There is a large hex fitting in the centre of the base of the carb at the front. This is where the fuel line attaches. You undo the fuel line from the fitting then remove the fitting from the carb. The filter is in that fitting. The filter is a small tubular type about the size of your little finger. Make sure you have the proper wrenches when you do this. You're going to need a 1"open end wrench for the hex fitting and a 5/8" flare nut wrench for the fuel line fitting. Put the open end wrench on the big fitting and hold it in place, then using the flare nut wrench undo the fuel line fitting which screws into that big fitting. Gently pull the fuel line away from the carb. Now undo the large fitting and remove the filter. Put the new filter in the fitting and screw it back into the base of the carb. Use the 1" open end wrench to tighten the fitting in, but do not over-tighten it. Just so it's a snug fit. Then holding the wrench in place, screw the fuel line fitting into the large fitting. The trick to this is holding one fitting in place while you tighten the other. You want the filter fitting to be tight into the carb base and the fuel line fitting to be tight into the filter fitting. There's not much space to do this and you must be careful not to put a kink, or bend in the fuel line.

Start the car and look for fuel leaks, and if found, then using both wrenches, tighten each nut separately holding the other in place, until the leak stops. Drive the car and after a few days check again for leaks.
