Default Fuel Starvation on my 69 Z?

My Z is losing power at 5K rpms. Acts like a fuel starvation problem. Previously this same situation was present at 4500 rpms. I installed a new fuel pump and now it runs hard up to 5K rpms. The stock rubber fuel lines were installed in 2009. I am thinking that the ethanol laced fuel may have done them in? The other thing I was thinking is the fuel screen in the tank is clogged. Anyone every shot air in the fuel line towards the tank to try an blow debris out of the screen?
I have rebuilt the carb, and changed the filter in the carb.
Thanks

Lawrence
