I think low battery power could cause all those symptoms. See what happens with a new, good battery.

Small block chevy's are all the same - I'm not sure why you are asking this question, but the link I have provided takes you to a plug that fits that hole. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nal-9421743?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKEAiAyMCnBRDa0Pyex-qswB0SJADKNMKA4tRQIutvg75Svmw7v1iar1DpZGnRwX0dzi7anE4ZGhoC7o7w_wcB

The only trick to this is that there is a bolt in the front of the engine block just in front of where the pump goes which you can remove, then install a longer bolt to press against the pump actuator rod to keep it from falling out when you remove the pump. If you don't do this you will need to remove the rod, use some hard grease on it and try to get it to stay in place while you mount the new pump which can be a real PITA. Be sure to cean the old gasket from the mounting area and use sealer on the new gasket. Use "line wrenches" on both sides of fuel line fittings to keep from rounding them off and mop up any fuel you spill. On some cars fuel will pour from tank when you remove that fuel line, so it helps to have a short piece of hose with a stopper in one end (I use an old bolt) to plug the line while you work. DO NOT WORK WITH A/C TROUBLE LAMP AROUND FUEL AND FUMES. Use a flashlight and be careful.

Battery is only used to start engine. after charging battery, start car. remove Negative cable, if car dies, wiring to alternator is faulty. if continues to run, shut off car and all accessories. install ammeter between Neg. cable and battery, if it shows a draw, pull fuses one by one to find circuit with draw while car is off.

I would assume that you checked your fluid level and it was full. If so, then the most likely culprit is the governor. It probably needs taking out and cleaned or serviced. You should also check the modulator valve. Pull the vacuum line off and if there is oil in the line replace the valve. If this doesnt cure the problem, you will most likely need an overhaul.

power from fused supply to motor then the earth back to switch in the rad ,make sure the rad has a good earth as well from a fixing back to the - on the battery ,it would surprise you how many had this problem years ago
