1984 ranger 2.8l fuel not getting to carb

[superj]

i have also run an electric holley pump and holley adjustable regulator in the engine bay to fuel my wrangler v8 swap and on my 80 bmw when i converted from mechanic fuel injection to a weber 32/36. with no in tank pump, both times the holley worked great.

You could also do away with stock tank and run a fuel cell in the bed with the mechanical fuel pump that is how I have mine

I put an electric fuel pump in my 1985 Boat engine. It's a Chevy 3.0L with a carb. It works great. My mechanical pump shit the bed so I tried this one shown

Worse comes to worse, You can hook it into your gas line and temporarily troubleshoot possible fuel pressure issues at least.

I wonder what fuel pressure your system requires. You can also test your fuel pressure perhaps prior.

That pump I posted would do it. I'd probably go electric too in this posters case. No brainer for $22.
