No fuel after pump relocation and SS line install Options

[LowGT]

This is on a stock 74 1.8 L-jet.

I just relocated the pump to the front and installed the SS lines. I'm not getting fuel to the engine, plugs are dry. I followed a post Darling made to connect the 3 port pump to the tank/ss lines.

Pump turns on with key in the on position and AFM plate pressed open.

Do I need to prime the system? I didn't think that was necessary since it is a return style fuel system.

My only thought is a pinched fuel line under the tank after I set it in. Just wanted to see if I'm missing anything before I try to drain 5 gal of gas from under the car to lift the tank out.

Line was kinked under the tank, unfortunately it sat like that so long I couldn't straighten it. So I pulled the tank and fixed the suction line.

Car will start, but my friend said only the cylinders on the pass side were firing. (HE's not on car until I know everything is running and no major oil gushers) I had to hold the gas to the floor to maintain a put-put idle. I could not rev the engine. It seemed like the other 2 cylinders would kick in sporadically.

Guess now I'm off to check my valve clearances and plug wires. My resistor pack is pretty ghetto-rific, looks like it's been mended many times. The car was running good before I pulled the engine to replace seals, it just leaked oil.

Check that the injectors are supplying fuel by removing them and have then spray in containers. You may have kicked up some dirt and that bank may be clogged. If this is that case, they can be cleaned. I recently bought 4 new ones from Autohausaz.com for less than 50.00 each. I felt this was a better deal than having old ones cleaned.
