Yes that is your fuel pump, what makes you think it is bad is it leaking gas?

Probably leaking plugs in the bottom of the carburator
main body draining the float bowl as car sits for a few
hrs-leading to long crank time to refill bowl and start.
This is a pretty common quadrajet fault,escpecially with
early '80s era q-jets-i had an '84 q-jet on my car for a
while that did the came thing,had to take carb off,clean
and use a little peening of the leakey plugs and some
epoxy sealer fixed the draindown problem and restored
quick starts.
