help, need confirmation.

My 86 (specs in sig) has been losing power on the highway at like 45mph. It will slow down to about 30 and struggle to maintaine that. Now since i have a manual choke i was able to close the choke completely and it was able to go alot faster. I switched tanks and no change. Now since it ran better with the choke door closed im thinking its a fuel problem. Just wanna know what to check. No change when i switched tanks so its either the fuel filter or the mechanical pump right? Any suggestions?
