Fuel delivery issues

I put as much of a 5 gallon can in as I could get, so 4.5 gallons for sure. I did actually think twice when you suggested it though.

As for the pressurizing, I don't have a compressor, is there another way to pressurize it that you can think of?

I'm aiming to make this my driver and have it fully reliable, maybe I should replace the lines to be 100 percent sure everything is new. Not sure how bad of a job that is on this one.

Is there fuel in the tank? I know it is a dumb question but I have done dumber things,:rolleyes:

How many fuel lines does a 71 have? could you have hooked them up wrong? I know I know see end of question #1

If you think your issue is fuel pump not sucking fuel from tank do to dry lines you could disconnect the like into the pump and slightly pressurize the tank with compressed air, don't go overboard a few lbs should be enough to move the fuel.
