Fuel pump

I'm having trouble with my firebird not getting gas from the tank to the carb. The engine will run if you pour gas into the carb. I've been reading repair manuals and for what i can understand there are both a fuel pump in the tank and a fuel pump on the motor that is ran by the cam. Is this right?
