Folks,

Having an issue with my old bird.  Fuel is not getting into my carb when I drive It very short distances.  Replaced the fuel pump today same issue.  Purchased pump on line Airtex model I believe.  Here are the symptoms. 
1.  While idling all is well, fuel filter full.  Running around block starts to stall.  When I open the hood fuel filter is dry, then car will stall. Have trouble restarting car. 
2.  Removed fuel lines tested for clogs, all clear
3.  Getting close to going with an electric fuel pump, which I really don't want to do.  
 Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

Lee
