I have a 1988 ford F 350 with a 460. It's not getting fuel. If you spray it with ether it runs on the ether and then stalls. It was towed in last year for the same problem and I had changed the relays and it was running, but now it won't run again. The fuel pumps, all of them, were replaced last year. Any ideas on what to look for? Thanks.

Any ideas out there?

 

Did you ever get a reply concerning your fuel problem? I have a 1989 F250, 4x4, 351, 5 sp with the same problem. All was well one minute and then the truck just stalled out. Engine cranks but doesn't turn over. I changed the relay in the engine compartment with no change. I don't hear the pumps prime when I turn the ignition switch on. Did you have any luck?

yes. on a carbed 460, take the fuel line off the carb and put it in a glass bottle and do a flow test, not sure of the volume specs. you said it runs off the either when you spray it so you are getting a spark!! if no fuel you need to check for power to the fuel pumps.
