the carb is a bit small but it should run it. sounds like the Low pressure pump isn't supplying enough fuel with out the booster pump running.
Might need to readjust the carb if the fuel pressure is OK.

ok now another question can i take oout the 2 elec. fuel pumps that or in the tanks run a regular sending unit slap on a man. pump on the block. If i can do that what do i do about the fuel return line and the relays and other wiring cause i priced new sending units for the elec. and they are almost $400 each and hard to get HELP PLEASE

Better than that... if you pull the tank pumps, and add enough tubing to make the pickup tube work, you can wire in a relay and run a regular in-line electric pump. I mounted mine up under the Drivers side framerail, just ahead of the tank selector switch. Those inline pumps are decently priced, overall, and you effectively bypass your wiring woes.
