Stock TPI engines only need enough fuel for about 230/245rwhhp

Your problem is probabily all of the above.

Your car should have a 1/2" line from tank to carb or at least to the pump. And a hiflow fuel filter.

Every thing that was origionally "good enough" for a TPI motor's needs will be not enough for a healthy BBC.
