very rough idele and headlights wil not go up

by Max Haslip
(Palmyra, Va)

Took my 1970 in to have the brakes checked. Started smelling gas on way to garage. Got to garage and found diaphram on fuel pump had ruptured. This was an aftermarket pump. Had replacement pump installed. Went to bring car home and now it will not idle and runs very rough at lower rpm also noticed that headlights wil not come up. Don't drive the car much at night so this may be a seperate issue that had already existed.
Wondering if both problems could be vacuum related.
