What is this?

[jimmybeus]

Hey all, I'm trying to get life back into my 292. My question is what is this box that is mounted on the passenger side wheel well? I dont know if it has ever been hooked up.
Another question I am trying to see if my fuel pump is bad. (Might be a little rednecked here but) I have a hose into a five gallon gas jug and turn the truck over with the hose off the other side of the pump. I put my finger over the outlet side and can barely feel a pulsation. Haven't got gas out yet. Is the fuel pump bad or will my redneck idea not work? Thanks for any advice or ideas.


Ok for some reason I can't put on any pictures. Soon as I figure out why I'll put them on, or if anyone knows why I can't.......... thanks
