Default Fuel Problem maybe?

Wats up again guys. I think i might have a fuel problem. Sometimes after i have mashed on it a lil bit my car jus dies but it cranks right bak up. For instance if i make a pass through the 1/4 mile wen i get out of it the car might jus go dead. Sometimes if im cruising around town and spin the tires a little it jus dies but i can crank it right bak up before the car even stops. What could this be?

wire the pump to a 12v+ constant source to troubleshoot for a bad TFI or PIP.

A FP gauge would tell you if your car is losing FP.

You carb guys never stop amazing me... It's like using a rock to bang in a nail. Sur, it'll get the job done. But if you were using a hammer, it would be alot more efficient.
