Driving along this morning and everything was fine. All of a sudden it starts sputtering when I accelerate and I'm not getting enough power.

It's had all new plugs, points, tuning etc.....

However, I've put an inline fuel filter before the carb and that has some crap in it. Not a huge amount (I once owned a straight 6 Fairmont that would run like a champ right up until the filter was chock full), so I wouldn't have thought that would be the cause?

Naturally this has happened the day I decide to take it to work. So now I'm here all day being paranoid that I'm going to cause damage trying to nurse it home. Or that it's not going to make it.
Oh, it's a 61 305D if that's relevant at all. And yes, it has petrol (although at the moment I am having to use a broom handle to determine that).
