Default 82 Corvette Fuel Problems

My 82 has a new fuel pump, fuel sending unit, gas tank was cleaned out. Car seems to run fine until I reach about 1/2 tank, then if going uphill or sharp turn seems as though it wants to quit. Fuel guage seems to work because I checked the level when it reached 1/2 tank on guage and the tank appeared to be 1/2 full. If I fill the tank up it seems to run ok. Any ideas on what might be the issue? Thanks.

Thanks. So apparently your fuel line to the metal fuel line was not secure? And the problem quit when you clamped it? I'll have to try that.
