Engine Performance problem
1971 Buick Skylark V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
!971 Buick Skylark / carburated 98 Vortec 350

I filled up with gas and the car ran strong half way home..from then on anything past 1/4 throttle it chugs and struggles.....some trash from the tank burned out the Holley fuel pump so it was then replaced along with the fuel filters..the problem persists...Could the dirt have made it into the carb? and jets?

Yes. Check the carb for sticking floats among other things.
