fuel pump not priming any more??
so i have a 91 bird did a swap from the 305tbi to a 350carb. everything was working fine and the car is still running but i noticed that the pump isnt priming any more. after i did the carb swap it was still priming but in the last week or so i noticed its not. is the pump going out or what?

Maybe a bad fuel pump relay. It doesn't really matter though, if you've done the swap properly you've changed the distributor, so the ECM never gets reference pulses to turn the fuel pump on after priming. The oil pressure switch is turning the pump on after the pressure rises.
