I own a 1972 Mustang and over the last 2 years did various fixes and modifications. These included getting the heads refurbished to fix a hairline crack, adding an Edelbrock Performance Intake Manifold, Edelbrock Thunder Series 650cfm carburetor with electric choke, and a new Precision mechanical fuel pump. I am starting the car for the first time in 2 years now and the car cranks strong but no fuel is entering the carburetor, or even the fuel line going from the pump to the filter. When I replaced the old pump today and disconnected the rubber fuel line going to the tank some fuel came out of the hose but not a lot. I’m honestly stumped on why the car isn’t starting. It has about 5 gallons of new fuel in the tank, all of the vacuums are hooked up or blocked to the best of my knowledge. The only thing that isn’t attached is the positive wire of the electric choke as I am still not sure where to hook that up to. Any ideas on what could be preventing my car from starting? I’d appreciate any help!
