Lee H. -- I pulled the line between the pump and the carb, it is a metal tube up to just above where the intake manifold meets the block... Then it turns to rubber and in the rubber is an inline filter... I pulled the hose off of the filter on the pump side and I was able to get about 1/4 of a cup of fuel in less than 10 seconds and then it was like the pump lost its prime and it stopped pumping fuel all together. A few more turns on the key and she pumped again...

Midniteblues -- That is a good idea, I will try that tonight... I also called a buddy of mine that is the manager at the local parts store and told him that I think I got a bad fuel pump off the shelf, he has another one so I am going to take it out again and eliminate that as the issue.

Rustybucket -- There is a bolt in the top hole but it isnt long enough to hold the rod... I attempted to use it to hold the rod when I replaced the pump, to no avail...
