Help, my 84 rocco is losing power in 3rd!

Hey guys, I've got a problem.... my rocco bogs down in 2nd and 3rd gear when I turn higher rpms it sounds like it wants to stall.....
I've got spark, so thats not the problem, and I've:
-Changed the fuel pump relay
-Changed the fuel pump
-Installed new fuel lines
-Cleaned out the air flow sensor plate
-Checked the Air/Fuel mixture
Now where would I go???

I don't have an O2 sensor because I have headers... but it never caused a problem b4... any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Jesse

ok first things first
does your car have a full size spare tire ?

if it does not you have 2 fuel pumps and your intank pump is going to die on you or your screen on the intank pump is plugged i had the same thing happen to me so i changed the out fuel pump no tknowing i had 2 pumps i was young lol

let me know im sure we can get it worked out http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

so you have one in your tank then if you got the small spare
that one is easy to change or to clean off the screen on it
