Hi Steve -

I recently had similar noises, and it turned out that the still-original 
pickup hose inside the fuel tank had softened up enough over the years that it was 
collapsing under suction and thereby stressing out the pump.  I've since 
switched over to the new baffle and pickup that John Hervey at Special T sells 
(I'd already installed one of his new fuel pumps a year eariler without updating 
the tank internals) and have been fine since.  It's a MUCH simpler system 
that's easy to install, eliminates a good length of unnececary rubber hose inside 
the tank, and looks pretty much incapable of collapsing.  If you'd like to 
look it over, I'm just a few miles away from you in Lauderhill, just North of 
Oakland Park Blvd in the Inverrary area.
