Believe me, the car gets heavier after you push it the first mile...

The only way to be sure is to pull the hose off the fuel pump and suck until you've got a mouthful of fuel.

I had the same idea accept I will be using a vacuum bleeder instead of my mouth .

There's more to the story that included his girlfriend and a spot in a farmers field far off the county road and so far out in the boondocks that you couldn't even see a yard light from a nearby farm. I did remind him often afterward.
HAHAHAH well I poured two tanks (20 each to fill) full of gas in to it so..

I was going over my old threads and one thing I hate is a unfinished thread so here goes.
the problem was a pin hole in one of the fuel lines in the rear by the tank. I trimmed the part of the fuel line with the pin hole and fuel pressure picked up. By then I had already replaced the original fuel pump with a electric holley red fuel pump. hope this helps thank you all for the suggestions n help. :-)
