At wits end, need help

Help guys! I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get my Camaro running properly and I don't know where to turn.

I have a 1982 Camaro, 2.8. The care idles pretty well, but sputters and bucks anytime the engine is under load. Its basically undriveable.

I have replaced the carb with a new unit, replaced the coil, cap, rotor, distributor, plugs, plug wires, re-timed the car properly, changed the fuel filter, and I don't know WHAT to do next.

I'd be grateful for any nuggets of wisdom on this one. Any clue on where to get a new fuel pump? This is my next course of action unless someone here has better ideas.

Thanks in advance

Ahh, any codes? Maybe have something to do with ur fuel pressure maybe. Or your ignition modual. Maybe its something internal. do a compression check.

Forgot to mention compression check showed fine. I don't know about computer codes since I don't have a scanner. Which one would be appropriate for a 1982 model?

YOU DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER,
You have a federal LB2 engine, same as my 1985 S-10 Blazer.
I would let someone one else work with it.
You have done everything right!
Be there, when they diagnois it.
Yo have done everythign right.
I just did this to my S-10 Blazer (rebuilt carb & distriB). All I need do now is change oil pumps & I should be ok!
Engine oil pan was full of water from head gasket. Big deal at 211,500 miles. I made it live again, that's all I care about. I'll change blocks one day. That truck tranny is next!
