This is NOT encouraging! <g>   If the stock fuel pumps are such garbage, as you 
describe, is there a better alternative?   

Regards,

Jason,
Believe me this IS your fuel pump.
I know because my good wife Rita and I experienced this same thing 
while on our way up to Canada for the Petersboro meet a couple of 
years ago.
Well, all was well after putting our 64 B into mechanical shape after 
finding it sitting for over 20 years! That's another story.
An hour on the road and the symptoms you describe start in. Car 
stumbles, dies on thruway. Get out, hit NEW fuel pump, ticks and we're 
away....for a couple of miles and same scenario again. Well, tiring of 
crawling on my back, I get an idea. We get to a rest area and I run 
around asking people for a length of rope(bungee cord stretches). Some 
kind soul obliges so I tie one end around the fuel pump, pass the 
other end to Rita through the window, start the car and go. Next time 
the symptoms occur, I yell "PULL", Rita yanks on the rope, the pump 
pumps and we get to Canada and back that way. Of course Rita developed 
this massive Popeye arm over the trip but it's OK now.
Trust me, Jason, it's the fuel pump, whether new or rebuilt!
