Reply to "Fuel pump got even with me for non use."

So I replaced the pump. Old one hard to tell whats up with it once I got it out. Replaced the lines. I put a plastic fuel filter in line to do its job plus so I could see if there was fuel in the line. Once I had everything replaced and hooked up, cranked it over and saw fuel pumping into the filter. Great sign!! Shut it off and checked for leaks. Turned it over 2 or 3 times and it started right up. The filter only fills 2/3 full, is that normal? I would think it would be full, but you can easy see its only 2/3 full. I included a few pics. One is from the inside of the car so you can see that one bolt is accessible. The bottom one i could get to from under the car without jacking it up. When I put the pump in I had the bolts about 80 tight and cranked the engine, I saw it wiggle a bit and figured it might be in place correctly. Tightened them up the rest of the way and was pretty happy it started. So now my Edelbrock 4506 needs adjusting again. Step on the pedal too fast and it wants to die. Think its a fuel pressure problem or carb? I have had this problem before. BUt least it starts and can run some checks to see whats up with the bogging. Thanks for the help as always. Sucks talking to the wife and shes really no help except for the (get it done) comments.
