fuel pressure? weird issue with hills!?!?

tbi 305 auto 91 vert only just broke 100,000 miles...weird issue i recently moved from the flat eastern shore of maryland to very hilly pennsylvania and it seems to be effecting my car weird right? lol car recently stalled out while going up hill and could not get any fuel into tbi until rolled backwards down hill and car was level again. this was very exciting since there are no shoulders on the road here uggh. only "mod" is open element. has new fuel filter plugs and wires fuel pump is priming and seems to be running like it should...Is this just a random thing? or is my fuel pump on its way out? just checking to see if this has happened to anyone before and any suggestions appreciated...i assume i need to check fuel pressure maybe a vaccuum problem i dunno thanks!!

Re: fuel pressure? weird issue with hills!?!?

Missing strainer underneath fuel pump? Missing/broken baffles in fuel tank? (i.e., fuel pump sucking air when vehicle is tilted up at the front.)

This would be worse with a low fuel level, probably non-existent with 1/2 tank or more.

Defective fuel pump relay, and no oil pressure going uphill??? Would perhaps take a fair amount of cranking before the engine would start.
