Hey everybody. I’m new to the group and normally I wouldn’t bother you all but...
I just bought a ‘71 M code Mach 1 and can’t get any fuel to pump. It has been sitting for a couple of years so I cleaned out the tank and lines. I installed a new mech. Fuel pump and now I’m on my 2nd new fuel pump and I still can’t get it to pump.
1) The pump works good by hand with a hose in a fuel can.
2) I bypassed the cars lines and hooked up a 2’ hose directly from a gas can to the pump.
3) I took a video of the eccentric working while I had the pump out. So I know it’s good.
4) I’ve had the pump on and off at least a dozen times to make sure I’m installing it correctly.
Could I be getting it wrong every time I put it on? I’ve installed pumps on 289 & 302’s but it’s been years and I have never had a problem like this.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
