Post fuel electrical system

1987 Ford F250; carburated 460 with duel tanks. The truck will start and run until the carb bowl empties, I cant find a relay in my Haynes manuel that moves power from the start to run cycle. I was told to replace the front tank fuel pump, problem continues; I replaced restricter valve near carb; problem continues; I than replaced the six port selector valve, problem continues. If I run a hot wire to the pumps at the dash board switch they run fine. Can anyone help me. Thank you.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-Apr-02 AT 08:18 PM (EST)]No and you won't find one either.
The computer actuates the fuel pump by Grounding out the circuitry.

What computer? Would that be the ignition box on the driverside fender? Thanks for responding.

I'm sure the schematic shows the actuation for pumps through the key and a control type box.
