Assuming the filter is clean then you definately need a better pump.

You didn't say what motor/intake setup you are using, but if you're using pretty much any aftermarket carb, and/or a ported motor, you most likely need a higher volume fuel pump, like a Holley.
Another option is to run two stock fuel pumps in parallel.
I'm currently using an RX4 pump on my stock 12A with stock carb just because the RX4 pump has to supply the thirstier 13B, so I figure it's a good measure. I haven't had any fuel delivery problems, so I suppose it's worthwhile. Good luck. -WG

ive had the best luck with the Carter pump. that thing is rated for like 30psi, so a fuel pressure regulator would definately be recommened with it.
