To check fuel pump and most other fuel problems: $40 mechanical fuel pressure guage from an auto parts store and screw to the schrader valve to monitor fuel pressure.
If pressure is good, then you can eliminate fuel delivery problems.

everytime i go to the j/y i pull control modules from LT1's. before i spaced it off the head i would burn one up every few hundred miles, having symptoms VERY similar to yours. ever since i spaced it i have had no problems (knock on wood.)
