fuel pump on it's way out?

The other night on the way home, at cruising speed on the bridge (of all places) the car briefly bogged several times intermittently, very much like when you go around a turn too fast on low fuel.

150k on 305TBI...

(I hope it's not the reason, 'cause the last thing I want to do is a fuel pump...)

BTW, fuel filter was replaced 20k - 30k miles ago.

What are the symtoms of a failing pump?

Very likely, mine did the same thing...tried everything and still ended up changeing out fuel pump...might want to check fuel pressure just to make sure...
