1953 GMC fuel pump not working
 

I have a 1953 GMC 9500 truck. This is a Canadian truck so it has a 235 Chevy engine in it. The old fuel pump was leaking so I replaced it. The new pump doesn't seem to work. There is fuel to the inlet of the pump but the pump doesn't seem to actually pump. I took the new pump back off and manually tested it and it works fine. I put it back on the truck and hooked up a small tank straight to the carb and ran the engine and the pump still isn't doing anything. I put my finger up to the outlet of the pump when the engine was running and there wasn't any pressure I could feel. My question is, is there somehow a way that I installed the pump wrong. The pump runs right off of the camshaft so I can't think of how it could be installed wrong? I felt the camshaft lobe too and I can't feel anything wrong on it either. The other thing is that the fuel pump has quite a bit of movement before it actually pumps, could it be that there is too much movement that the camshaft lobe doesn't push it far enough? Is there a way to possibly tighten up that movement so it pumps earlier in the stoke? Could it be something with the camshaft?

Did you compare the arm on the pump to the arm on the old pump? there is a change between 57 and older 235 engines and 58 and later 235 engines fuel pump wise.
