intermittent surging

[1976 Electra 225]

well, decided to take it out for a test drive today. it ran smoothly,and drove great,just like a Buick should I found the hoses at the tank, and the ones at the fuel pump were the original ones, they still had the GM markings on them!
the 3/8 hose felt a bit soft, maybe it was pinching shut, causing it to surge?? anyways, I think I'm ready to cruise
