Fuel pump or carb problem?

Im hoping someone might be able to help.I Have a holley 750 vac sec. im running on my 350.When i start the car it will run normal for about 10 seconds, then all of the sudden the cars idle will drop and cut off.If i try to gas the pedal i can keep it alive barely, but it shakes the whole car and runs real rough, but once i left of the gas it dies again.I have the idle set at about 800rpm.I checked the plugs and i believe my timing and vacuums are ok.The fuel pump is pretty new, but can it have gone defective?I have a fuel (psi)gauge on it, and when the car starts to die, the fuel gauge drops.Any thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks in advance. ~~Jaime~~

The first thing to check would be the float level.
