I had the same thing with my '85.  The fuel filter was clogged becasue the gas
tank was full of rust and water (which caused the rust).  I replaced the fuel
pump, got the same noise, which was the pump straining to pump through a
partially clogged line.  Had to repalce the tank, which was badly rusted.  Time
to flush or replace the fuel tank and flush all the lines.  Look at it this
way, could be an opportunity to go to a larger gas tank.
