 The filter is not clogged and there is plenty of gas (psi unknown) getting
 to the carb, if I can find a fuel guage I'll check the pressure. 
 Due to the way Chevy distributors mesh with the oil pump drive shaft it
 is impossible to put it in a tooth off. It will either go in right or
 180 degrees off.
 Something I did find out was that the float was sticking and causing the
 carb to flood. After I changed it the engine did run better but still has
 problems with the gas pedal being floored.
 Thanks for your help. :)
