Possible issue with the gas tank pick up maybe?
In that case I’d gauge a fuel pressure gauge to see what’s happening. Most parts stores have a kit in their loaner tool program.
Does it do it on any steep hill pointing up, but not pointing down?
I’ll check into that, it will probably be easier if I just buy one, I live 75 miles from closest auto parts store.
Actually I’m not sure about that, have to check that out.
I run the autometer gauge inside my truck. It plugs up behind the tbi unit, they are over $100 but very worth it if you plan on keeping tbi.
I had that issue is why I asked. Was the wires between the coil and ICM. Had a bad wire going into the connector. Took forever to find it. Pulled out going up hill due to gravity.
Yes! An in cab gauge has been one of the best diagnostic tools I have.
Probably a dumb question but, Is that an electrical plug ? This TBI stuff is all new to me .
I think he ment it is plumbed into the fuel delivery line near the tbi unit on the manifold

I don't know if I would trust a live fuel line in my cab. I had a oil gauge in cab of a past truck and when it blew and I realized what it was, it dumped 3 Quarts of motor oil in the cab before I could get it shut off and safely to side of road !!!
Search through Autometer products, the mechanical gauge uses an isolator so there only fuel in the line on engine side. You’ll mount the isolator on the firewall and then there’s a special line that goes to the gauge, this line has a non flammable liquid (antifreeze, iirc). These extra pieces are why this set up is a couple hundred bucks (as opposed to a $50-$75 stand alone gauge).
There is no fuel inside the cab.

It uses an adapter on the fuel line with an electric sending unit. Its a nice tool to keep an eye on pressure conviently.
my 77 is factory oil pressure line in cab to dash meter, is copper/ or metal, (not sure is patina-ed and I'm not messing with it) not plastic
I didn’t realize yours was electric, nice.

More than I remember, but I got mine used.
Hot damn, I wished I knew about this design of gauge in my past vehicles. It probably would’ve saved me a ton of time and money . Thank You
