Polishing filter location

Should I put the polishing filter before or after the fuel pump?

Put the polishing filter between the fuel pump and the carburetor.

I have two inline filters, one before and one after the pump. The mechanical pump seems to be able to handle it.

I have two filters also, however, I have the Racor 320 like Moyer sells between the fuel tank and the pump, and the polishing filter Moyer sells between the mechanical fuel pump and carb. The last thing before the carb is the 1561 fuel pressure gauge, which always tells me if the carb is getting fuel.
