You put on a new fuel pump and it did not work? Are we sure that it's your fuel pump that was bad?The mechanical pump was a failure.
Most of the cheaper electric fuel pumps that you will find on the shelves at your local auto parts store are designed to be more efficient at pushing fuel rather than pulling. So for long term use, I believe it is a better practice to mount them closer to the tank and have the pump push the fuel towards the engine.The mechanical pump was a failure.
Were spending the night in Waco. I'll try the electric pump option. What exactly do I need? Any specifics?
You'll be receiving an order from me...Rebuild! Its an easy project.

If I'd have taken your advice at the beginning, we would have been on the road last night. Others can learn from my mistake. Thanks again.Go to the nearest parts store and just buy a low pressure electric fuel pump with fittings that fit your fuel hose. A diode one on Amoron is like $10 https://www.amazon.com/Electric-Universal-Pressure-Transfer-Carburetor/dp/B08PY7V2MM
I use them to make fuel transfer pumps and I run one on my 72 and my f150.
