It was the pump. Hole in the diaphram. Thanks

Assuming you have confirmed its fuel related.... how old is the tank? Is the vent line clear? Did you replace the long lines or just the flex line? Did you use teflon tape at any of the fittings?

It sounds it might not be getting fuel to pump?

Even quicker but take care.  Dribble a little fuel or spray a little starting fluid down the carb primaries then crank it and see if it wants to start.  If it does, it's definitely fuel related.  If not, ya need to go electrical.  If it is fuel, look for a vacuum leak like a cracked flex line between the tank and pump if reinstalling the old pump doesn't make it work.

Simple test. Put the old fuel pump back on and see what happens. Chuck in NH

Hi guys just joined this site today. It seems to have a gold mine of info. Right now I am in need of that knowledge. I have a 56 F100 with 292 in it. I had it running and driving it a few months ago. I put in new fuel line ,new fuel pump, new Edelbrock Carb.,Fuel filter etc. Ran great. Today I was taking it to a car show and it wouldn't start. Checked fuel and it was in the filter but it seemed that none was getting to the carb. So, I started taking off things. Fuel is coming out the fuel line at the filter just enough to tell its coming out not a steady stream or a forceful one. This is a new pump without the vacuum ports. Everything seems normal except the fuel flow from the fuel line.  Does this mean what I think it does? A new pump. I have the old pump and it was working fine. only been put about 2 months. Can I use this one. I know very little about the Y block motor. So, I come to you guys with novice questions. Thanks in advance . David Duncan
