Mechanical fuel pump predicament
 

Hello all and thank you ahead of time if you are responding. I recently bought a 79 Power wagon that started off a 318 truck . At some point a 360 from an early 80s van was swapped in and ran for quite a few years before it was parked and sat for just over a year . I had it towed on a flat bed to my garage . Now here's my problem. I wasn't able to get gas up to the carb so I bought a new fuel pump , still no gas , I can draw gas thru the line by siphoning with ease, but very little comes out of the fuel line when the engine is cranking. I'm stumped . Also after removing the old pump I don't belive it was even bad to begin with.

Sounds like the eccentric might be bad, loose or cracked... Check it out.... Keep us posted....

Check for cracked rubber hoses at the tank !!

Thanks for the replies . I was able to get the truck running . It just took alot more carb priming and cranking then what I'm used to . I also found out the truck is a Macho hiding under the primer so I'm excited about that
