It "Sputters" untermittently.. shop labor cost of block-mounted Fuel Pump?

Im suspecting the Fuel Pump more and more. That, or a good "Carb tune-up" and possible leaking "Carb mounting gasket" ?

I wonder what a Fuel Pump replacement at a shop, or a Carb tune-up (?) at a shop would cost (how many shop labor hours are involved for these things) .. something just seems "off" with my car, if slightly, sometimes it runs perfect sometimes it runs as if something needs replaced or changed/tuned.

OK guys, update. Turns out not only can i SEE the fuel filter by lying on the driver side and lookign up, but there is gas dripping from the fuel line itself, at the fuel filter. That explains all the bad gas mileage ive been getting even when it was "ok" and now i know i need that line changed. It seems to have a nice little "U" in it, and its leaking right where it meets the fuel filter. At least it went on the ground, and not the oil.

Ill report back when i can contact someone to fix that, as im not comfortable doing that myself. Seems like almost noting needs removed, too. Its low, and if i had my camera which i lost..

ill report back. Thanks.
