is the feed line hooked up and tight? If so then make sure there is fuel at the return line sticking out of the top elbow, that should be radiator top side of the IP and going to some kind of return line. If it is getting fuel then good, you just need to loosen all the injector lines. If it doesnt have fuel, then loosen the black hex head fitting on the passenger side aft of the fuel screw plate towards the firewall, once you have fuel flowing there, tighten up and it should be fine. had the same problem. A dry pump is a pain in the ***.

is there an obstruction somewhere? is it hooked up correctly? does the FSS click when you un plug and plug it back in? Seems there is something else going on here. Sounds terribly like lack of power to the fss and if it doesnt have power, it wont prime.

Just fixed a guys truck that did the same thing. Now I don't know why you changed the pump but this is what happened to him. He couldn't get it primed up. I ran an electric pump from a bucket of fuel to the pump it ran fine. His problem was the fuel tank switch the whole time. It was sucking enough air to give him troubles and when he changed the pump it wouldn't prime up. Just an idea. You new pump could be junk also.

If you have clean good fuel going in and you have fuel coming out of the return then it has to be the pump. New/ used?

my epumps primed it with that bolt open in two seconds, awhile shouldnt be too long. Careful not to rupture the mechanical fuel pump diaphragm, if i read your post correctly by using the electric.

it isnt getting to the return side, joe are you priming with the key on? just curious. Trying to eliminate the obvious.

Need to loosen ALL the lines. Half of them may get it going but one probably won't.
