Fuel pump gone bad... pull the fuel lines and have a buddy flick the key for a second and see if you get fuel.

fuel filter has no gas in it. any relay or anything else it may be

84RX_Se7en. That was jumping to a conclusion if I ever saw one.
I recommend you start doing some serious reading there.

Does the tach move when you are cranking the engine over?

VPTUNING

I haven't noticed if the tach moves when cranking. I will check that today. I'm gonna also check the famous fuel pump relay. once again thanks for the link and everybodys knowledge. I was going insane yesterday working on my car.

I was suggesting a possible cause and a possible way to determine if that was the case.

Help!!!! Ok I Tried The Jumper Wire On The Shut Off Relay And No Luck. Also When I Crank The Car To Start It The Tach Needle Jumps Up And Down???? Now Where Is The Ingnitor At I Cant Locate It. Also Am I Looking At The Correct Relay For Thr Shut Off. Is It A Relay A Round Relay???? Help

The shutoff relay is located above the throttle pedal.

any one know where the ignitor is at

Ignitors are the black boxes on the side of the dizzy.

But if your tach is moving while cranking, then it should be okay. Pull off the fuel line at the carb and put it into a jar, then crank the car over for a few seconds. Any gas come out?

VPTUNING

i found it. it was the dumb fuel pump. went to autozone and bought a universal one. thanks for everyone that helped me.

Yeah if the tach was jumping then it would either be wiring to the fuel pump is faulty or fuel pump itself is faulty.
