FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS PLEASE HELP!!

Alright guys. let me just break this whole thing down to you. i just rebuilt my 350 may 2nd. and about 15 mins into my cam break in my fuel pump just quits. well ****. so i pull the whole rear end, exhaust, drop tank replace pump. okay set it back up and it still doesn't work!! i replaced the fuel pump relay. nope nothing. and the wiring harness in the tank that connects the pump to the top of the tank. and nothing. i have no idea what to do now im just really frustrated with everything about it. after rebuilding the motor (from bare block) and tranny. everthing on that end works perfectly. but now this crap happens. and idk what to do so someone please! any help i would appreciate it alot! its an 87 iroc TPI 350.

Hi Lee,
I would unplug the relay and see if there is voltage there with the key forward. If not, I think there is a fuse for the fuel pump (but can't remmeber for sure).

Hope this helps.

There's a fuse tucked in the fenderwell behind the battery in a weatherpack - check it.
