Fuel filter put in right direction? There is an "in and an "out".

Re: New fuel pump turning on but no gas

Have you tried letting it prime multiple times? I believe there is a small suction line that extends off the pump, is that there too? A friend with an 86 IROC had his fuel pump replaced and they forgot to put the this on, or so he says. He had to turn the key on an off multiple times to let the pump prime before it would start.
