Wierd 82 245 problem (kinda long). 200 1982

Ok back at it again, I swear this car knows when I have a good week at work because that is when she acts up. Ok here it goes before anything else this car does not have an AMM just to get that out of the way. Yesterday I was pulling a pretty steep hill and I had no run at it and it didn't want go in third so I dropped it down to second and powered her up the hill at about 35 and roughly 3700 rpms. Well I got to the top and shifted and she seemed to be doing fine until I stopped. The car was idleing fine but something was "Whirring" like crazy it sounded like it was coming from the passanger side and the fuel accumulator but I couldn't be sure because it was much much louder that usual. It sounded like a small vacuum cleaner but when I parked and opened the hood everything seemed right and I couldn't hear it outside the car. Also it was bucking like a bastard (not really new but usualy does it on a low tank of gas)on acceleration from 1st and 2nd. I shut it off and went into a resturaunt and after about 30 minutes we left and it was pretty much normal again still wanted to buck just a little bit but it was controllable.

Now this morning it has been acting normal again, only a slight whirring that it always has and acceleration is good again, it just had an oil change and tune up. Did I maybe heat up the fuel pump ground or the fuel pump relay resulting in this stupid behavoir? Also the temp gauge was slighlty warmer than usuall but normal for the steep condition it came back down below midway where it usually sits and never went back up again. What the heck caused this and is it a sign of bad things to come? I think I may have a plugged cat but im not sure. If you have read my WUR post you will know what it has recently started doing, there could be a corillation with that and this new problem. If you guys have any idea's I would love to hear them, all I know is she stopped me from buying a new gun today because of the fear of her breaking down and leaving me stranded so im not really happy with her right now.
