Change fuel filters, sounds like the engine is starving.
Replace the fuel filter

how hard was it to pump it by hand?Iwould be suprised if a mechanical fuel pump could be easily pumped by hand as the spring pressure required to hold the arm against the eccentric is considerable If its a cleveland or windsor you cannot pump by hand.I own a 1980 running a cleveland and found that if you put an electric pump as close to the fuel tank as possible and have a good original mechanical pump fuel delivery is no longer a problem.I had to do this as soon as i went to a 600 holley as the original pump was not able to supply sufficient flow.the electric pump doesnt have to be an expensive hi volume type,it only has to help to get fuel to the mechanicl pump

86 that Q'Junk carb.(if it is) and buy a Edelbrock replacement. Auto zone got them and there relatively cheep in some cases under 225.00. Dam cheaper than a Q'jet and better.

Ck your exhaust pipe at rear of car noting any obnoxious smell like rottrn eggs. Hold a piece of paper, I use a dollar bill ,in in front of the exhaust. If it blows the paper gently, you have a catalyctic converter going or is bad. Will need replace if so.

try running the vehicle without the feul cap and see if it quites or keeps running.
SOURCE: need to find a manual for a rochester carb 4
You should be able to find or order a Haynes manual, part # 10230, for Rochester carbs at you local auto parts store. If not then faxonautoliterature has the GM service manual for your car and it will have a section on rebuilding carbs. Hope this helps.

Check the fuel filter located inside of the fuel inlet at the carburetor and be certain that it is installed correctly with the inlet hole in the filter facing out towrds the fuel line and that it is not installed backwards.
Already replace it with a new one...still same problem. Entire fuel system is new, including fuel pump, filter, carb rebuilt, tank is clean as new.
