<< I'm told by the local EAA tech counselor that any crud which will pass through my gascolator screen will most likely pass successfully through
the the injectors on my IO360B1F. >>

Angier:  Debris as small as a human hair can block a fuel nozzle, and the old Cessna style gascolator screens will only keep out the bigger tools and parts left behind.  I've had engines quit (completely) due to trash blocking the inner operations of the fuel pump and the RSA fuel servo's.  Go with a proven filter/screen at least as good as the one in the Lancair gascolator or the in-line filter.  the gascolator was designed to the TCM spec's and certainly better than what's needed for the Lycoming installations.  BEWARE buying one from the speed shop as there is a definite difference between carburated and Injected fuel flow's in the automotive world.
