did you ever verify fuel pressure after the pump? you could also want to think about a universal carb fuel pump. but i wouldnt just toss one on there without trying to verify its your issue

check for kinked or collapsed hoses. Verify you have the vent and return hose on the correct ports.

Hi Dave:
If you are still having problems, it could be the old Q-jet being sensitive to the modern highly oxygenated gasoline. The carb will gunk up fast if not driven regularly as this new gas oxidizes quickly and deteriorates older rubber parts. Also, the glued on brass plugs on the bottom of the carb may be leaking which will cause stalling and hard hot starts.
Regards,
Henry
