1936 Ford Pickup - New Fuel Pump, No Gas

[MadmanWilson]

Hey all,

I'm working on a 1936 Ford Pickup, all original. The thing will run pretty well when it gets gas.

So I bought a new mechanical fuel pump (like the original) from Mac's and stuck in on the truck along with an new gas tank. I ran the line up there and cranked and cranked but I can't seem to get any fuel out of that tank. Has anyone else had something like this happen?

I may just go with an electric pump if it's too much of an issue, let me know what your experiences are there.

Thanks!
