89 formula hard start

89 formula runs good, but sometimes will not start. Will start w/ help of starting fluid. Im thinking tank fuel pump is going or bad fuel pressure. Anyone else encounter this problem. Any ideas???? Thanks

Looks like Your onto something with the fuel but You should try doing a search. Go to the bottom of the page to the Forum Jump and the search should be on the top of the list. There should be much help there.
