I own a 1968 Camaro with a 327 engine, edelbrock intake, edelbrock 600 carberator, mild cam, and everything else is pretty much stock. Over he last few weeks u have noticed a significant drop in power. It bogs down or cuts out when it is floored from a stop. I only use 91 octane with no ethenol. I changed the accelerator pump but it did not help at all and it has a good stream of fuel when I checked it. What should be my next thing to check?

I would probably test the fuel pump for both pressure and volume. Even more common that the fuel pump going bad is that the lines from the tank dry rot and become porous. This causes the pump to suck air instead of fuel.
