Losing power

94 f53 with 460 engine losing power going up the hills. We are on I 40 headed into Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump, funny thing is when I push on the gas to where it starts bogging the ac fan stops blowing

Are you loosing ac or is it coming out of the defrost vents?

If so you probably have a leaking vacuum line. White line, passenger side, to a vacuum motor in the hood hinge area. This vacuum motor controls the blend door, hence the ac problem. Replace line with appropriate vacuum hose.

ok, when we sit at idle or idle down a hill it looks like not enough gas goes though the pump and it overheats so we just had to stop for 1/2 hour and it was fine to blast up the hills. we made it to Tucson so we will fix it here, what is the best pump to use?
