ETA - bugs crawled in your lift pump? I kind of recall the car pushes fuel through the filter using the lift pump. Maybe my recollection is wrong. I thought there was a filter between the lift pump and IP. Need to check the diagrams

engine was not fully installed part of the time I had it. bought it in a unfinished project car..... Later was on the ground under tarps after I removed it. dirt daubers found every small orifice to build nest... like the line to the mechanical pump. didnt catch all of it I guess. (cleaned a lot out before hand) yet still ended up with larvae parts floating in the new primary fuel filter. Thought got lucky. and that spot the filters would catch stuff.
That's only explanation can come up with... have got a video of this rebuild running in the machine shop who built it
