Re: Mechanical Fuel Pump not pumping

Is the float bowl empty on the carb.? .... maybe the needle is stuck in the seat and won't let any fuel in. You said you had pressure at the fuel filter.
As far as watching the delivery, I've got a glass filter on the '66 Plymouth and it's always only about a quarter full when the car's running --- and it always runs fine. Fuel just kinda dribbles in but apparently it keeps up with demand.
