possibly kicked up a bunch of sediment that got sucked into the fuel filter, clogging it?

or had a bunch of sediment settle on the fuel pump pick up screen?

Recheck your install on your gas tank. Check the harness going to the tank, it might be damaged.

I not sure how to explain. The amount of fuel that the pump can flow usually measured in psi.

Update I check the pressure and there plenty of pressure I replaced my distributer cap and rotor and wires My spark plugs were black I assume it was that but it acted the same stalling when starting the car and when I gas it no responds and for the spark being black I think its to rich on fuel that can explane why My exhaust gets hot can it also be My pump .not.switching from
8 volts and pushing to much fuel or another thing My mechanic told me the computer might of got.fried the fact I welded the quorter panel???? So many things
