350 Fuel Issue

I think you mean"no" gas?    Did the fuel pump rod get put back in position when you changed the pump?

Oh yeah i meant no gas and the fuel pump is pumping but not getting gas to is. Continue on new post?

Do you have dual tanks on that 83? If so, the selector switch might be causing you some issues. The switch could cause the selector valve to get stuck between the two tanks, and a faulty switch may have something to do with your fuel gauge not working.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Yeah I've heard thats a common problem but this truck doesn't have dual tanks.

Hate to ask, but is the pump seated in there right, and did you get the push rod from the cam to the pump on the lever?

Yeah turns out it wasn't the right pump. I ordered one for a 83 model and it fits but theres a vacuum hose port on the one for a 83. And i found out my motor came out of a 80 and earlier model truck. So we got the right pump now. Waiting for gasket glue to dry now. Buts it stupid that since the 83 model pump had gas ran through it i can't return it.
