Car won't start.

Alright, so tonight my 87 gtu ran out of gas at the gas station and I put about 1 gallon in and now it won't start, it cranks just fine but won't fire, did I wreck my fuel filter/ pump? or did I flood it? Anything I can try to do to get it to start?

Thanks

You need more fuel Tex. Disconnect the return line from the engine and place the hose into a jug, jumper the fuel check connector, key to on and observe if the jug fills up with fuel. This will help you to determine some things. Measuring fuel pressure would be helpful as well.
