1980 vette with holley carb
This is the problem, when i try to start the car, need to pump the gas a couple of times, and it takes a while for the car to start. I give it some gas and then put it in reverse and the car shuts off. Also, when I stop at stop signs, the car shuts off. A buddy of mine told me its the carb. I changed the fuel filter and that didn't help much. Any ideas on what this could be?

There are plenty of carb tuning threads on this forum. Do a search or go to corvettefaq.com and study Lar's "How to set up a Holley" paper.
Start from the begining go thru the whole process. If you still have trouble after the set up then you may have a problem with your carb. But do the baseline set ups first so you can eliminate that as the cause.
