This is on a stock 74 1.8 L-jet.
I just relocated the pump to the front and installed the SS lines. I'm not getting fuel to the engine, plugs are dry. I followed a post Darling made to connect the 3 port pump to the tank/ss lines. Pump turns on with key in the on position and AFM plate pressed open. Do I need to prime the system? I didn't think that was necessary since it is a return style fuel system. My only thought is a pinched fuel line under the tank after I set it in. Just wanted to see if I'm missing anything before I try to drain 5 gal of gas from under the car to lift the tank out. Dan |

You need to cycle the pump at least a dozen times (turn the key on & off) to get fuel in the lines & up to pressure.
