fuel pump Chrysler 360

I am having problems with rough running at high RPM around 2200.

I think the fuel pump may be the issue. Runs okay at idle just a little rougher than the starboard but not bad.

Has anyone replaced their OEM Chrysler fuel pump with a new one? Do the fuel lines all line up the same or do I need to re-do those too?

Don't think 2200 rpm is high rpm. What happens when you open her up?

I meant anything over 2200 rpm and she starts to sputter. at 800 rpms up until about 2100 she seems to run okay. I can't get it to run at all around 3000 or it will run out of gas and quit.

that sounds more like an ignition breakdown to me check dist cap and wires

ignition or fuel

yea, I was also going to do some checking of the distributor, rotor, spark advance to make sure as those items are pretty cheap to replace and check. I got a new marine fuel pump on e-bay for 33 bucks so I thought I'd replace that as well and if not the problem then I'd have one for future.
