Now I'm not getting fuel to the carb. Put 5 gallons of gas in, and I took the fuel line off and turned it over. No gas came out. I put a new pump on before it was parked and it ran. Opened up the fuel filter and no garbage in there. I have never had to clean the tank out? What do you guys think?
 
Disconnect the fuel line leading to the fuel pump and see if you have gas flow from gravity.
If yes then pull the fuel pump and try bench testing it.
If no, then you might have a clog further back in the line or even to the fuel tank pick up. You could try clearing the line by blowing the line with very low pressure air.
 
This buddy of mine cut a section of a tire sidewall from a tire and then cut a hole in the middle. He pressed it against the filler neck opening and blew compressed air in to pressurize the tank. It filled the fuel line and filter pretty quick.
I know, someone will say that this is dangerous but I have not had any trouble doing this.
 
DFX- What do you think about putting a piece of hose on the pump inlet and putting it in a filled gas can. Then turn the car over to see if fuel gets sucked up from the can. Would that work to check the pump?
