If this only happens when you have a low fuel level (under a quarter), then i'd say it was fuel surge (ie the fuel pick up in the tank is momentarily running dry).
Is this the case? or does it do it at all fuel levels?

If you've got an uprated pump there may be an issue with the 'pick-up' or 'sock' on the end of it. Have a search on 22B and here. Pumps in question were Walbro.
