Thanks for all the help and recommendations. I swapped the pump, reconnected the fuel lines and she fired right up. So it wasn't the carbs, fuel lines, or tank which is a relief. I currently have a Carter pump a buddy loaned me till my Summit parts arrive tomorrow. A few more tweaks and checks...

No it's a 440, found the rod. Got a buddies extra pump, going to put it on and test it out. What a pain to get this guy back on (fat fingers). the Edelbrock I removed, I opened up and everything seems fine. I'm going to test it as recommended above with air and working the lever. Maybe it's...

So I removed the Pump last night and didn't see any visual indications of it being all gunked up. Is there a way to test it now that I have it sittin on my bench?. Also, how do I get the fuel pump rod out. It didn't fall out when I removed the pump, how far up is it?

"I would get about 6 feet of 5/16 hose and a can of fresh gas, attached right at the pump. If it will pull gas from the can and run the engine your problem is in the line going all the way back to the tank." I did this with no gas being pumped. which is why it makes me think its the pump. How...

Thanks 67Dart273, I will check it in the morning. I will disconnect it and check it out, If it is gummed up I have to replace it correct? Im obviously trying to avoid removal of the pump, not much room to work with in the engine. Im frustrated...want to hit it with a hammer. Any other...

Sorry in advance for a probable simple Dilema. I am military and just got back to Hawaii from a six month deployment. My car (a 440 Duster) has been sitting in the garage covered the entire time. I cannot start it or get my fuel pump to pump gas. This is the basic stuff I have checked so far: 1...

My 440 Duster in Hawaii.

I just replaced my ebay cheapo-mini starter yesterday with a mini starter from a dodge dakota, it was very easy to do. I was surprised at how simple it was, no interference to remove or any issues with the swap!

No problem, I have to transfer pics from other computer. I will post them as soon as possible for you. I have a ton more pics, I plan to post to include: the Ez wiring harness install, custom dash fab, lift-off hood instal/ mods and my engine install very soon. I Hope it will help, made plenty...

Radiator was bought on ebay. Not sure what brand. It works great though. I have a lot more Pics I'm going to add, just need to transfer them from my old computer. I did skip a few steps in between. I will update soon. I understand about the color of the compartment, but the engine was pulled...

I decided to go with the Classic Green, I always loved this color on Muscle cars. We later installed a fiberglass lift off hood a buddy hooked me up with because the other snorkel hood I had would not fit the 6 pack under it. I did all the body work, and my buddies helped me spray the final...

I pulled every bracket off, sandblasted and repainted and added some goodies to the block. It was an awesome experience building it, I have some pretty knowledgable friends who helped me along the way. I replaced and refurbed just about everything. I installed Stealth Heads, KB pistons, Eagle...

The 440 had some power but it definitely needed some work, It was a '72 HP block. I originally was going to only replace the cam and run a Six-Pack setup. Once I pulled the block, I decided to go all out and rebuild the entire engine. Here are a few pics of the block when I pulled it.

I have had a few other classics that I purchased in the past that were either completely restored or customized to the point that I was scared to touch it in fear of ruining it. I have always loved Mopars and liked the A-bodies the best. I decided to sell my other cars and go with a classic...
