But if I have deteriorating components I think I should replace them. I'm just not sure how far I need to go? And will I need to do most, but not all, of it yearly?

well... put a clear fuel line fillter in line at carb .go back at the back of the car i use a marine water/ dirt .. filter like a oil filter spins on and off you have a filter on both ends of the line SO if your getting dirt up to the clear filter them your fuel line could be breaking down need to check it one part at a time. less the tank has a sealer that coming out of the tank ? cut the can off the first filter by tank it should show it catching alot of it. look in the tank for sealer
