this is the car i got from giggle snirt that we are working on. we drained the fuel since it was years old and put a few gallons of good stuff in.. i have never seen this car run so the fuel pump might be bad but is there any way to check it out? it will run on starter fluid and i primed the carb by putting about a cap of fuel down both primary barrels.

i really need help getting this thing running. any would be great, thanks

did you check your fuel filter and make sure your fuel pump is actually pumping fuel is the wire that is under the driver side storage bin hooked up? have you check this stuff first

so i have really been researching this as much as i can. if i jump the fuel pump relay then the pump should always be on when the key is on? is that right?

it is the only fuse that is sideways on the fuse block if that helps identify it. i fneed be i can make a diagram of the fuses for you but you shouldnt have any problems locating it
