Is the one you can blow through the one from the tank to the pump? There is also one that goes to the vapor canister.

Does the truck run if you dribble some gas into the carb? Might have to do that to get enough vacuum to pull the gas up to the pump (higher RPM= higher suction)

fuel line

yes the one I can blow threw is the in line to the fuel pump.

the truck will run until it runs out of gas in the carb. I have primed it maybe 10 times each time it will run for a couple of seconds.

Thanks Fon....

Didn't accidently switch the vent line and the fuel line? Did that once a long time ago.

Thanks for the help. I pulled off the valve cover and seen that my replacement engine was from a car with fuel enjection not carburator. I guess I will have to install an electric fuel pump. Any thoughts on what brand would be best for this and where I should place it. Thanks Fon....
