no man, I changed the fuel filter, and I was leaning toward a pump.. thanks for getting back to me quickly, I will see if its the pump.. but on the other hand could be a bad carb or distributor.. getting the carb rebuilt soon, and the distributor if the carb is not the solution.. if both are not solutions you bet ill be at auto zone with that new fuel pump. thanks man, and ill get back with my progress
