Check the trans mount. Your discription is pretty vague.

i will try to describe it a little bit better. it seems when i am going at a steady pace it runs fine but once i hit the gas to pass or to go up a hill it starts to shake and almost like pop. hope that might describe it better.

I doubt it's the trans mount...if it was loose, you'd feel it banging against the rear floorboards.

I'm pretty sure it's right past the drivers side rocker, towards the back of the door. It's been a while since I've crawled under my car though, so I may be confusing another car. It's definitely not in the tank, though.

OK for one if you have anyone you can get to check the fuel preasure have them hook up fuel preasure guage , and un hook the fuel preasure rgulator and wing the throttle and if it drop more than 1.5 psi your pump/filter is not up to the task.
Also look at your ignition, if it has a distributor with a seperate coil look on the sides and see if you have a whiteish "burn mark on the sides near the laminated iron core,,, GM has a problem with them loosing voltage through the sides as they get old.
Verifiy its not lacking in regualr tuneup maintenace (and if you haveanything other than AC Delco plugs in it good luck) look and see if its black in center of rotor if it has distributor.
Been so long since I worked on one I forget what type of ign setup it has.
