Starting issue after fuel tank and lines installed
 

New tank and lines (lines new from bell housing connection and lower). Never touched the lines going into the Central SFI. Depressing the schrader valve on the feed line shows fuel up to that point (beyond any repaired lines, etc.) Yet the truck won't start. It started and ran fine prior to this repair. Now ... nothing. I had four plug wires off at the distributor (they were blocking access to the fuel line connections), but I numbered them before removal and have since verified the firing order is correct. Any ideas folks? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Turn over? Hear fuel pump prime with key on?

Turns over fine. You can hear the fuel pump prime with the key on. The feed line is pressurized. I cracked it at the fuel filter before I tried the schrader valve. It's getting fuel (at least up to the schrader valve).

Try cracking the fitting, possible air trap against the injector ?


Possibly knocked the ignition wire into the distributor loose ?

Verify spark.

What's the pressure
 

Measure the fuel pressure with KOEO. If you don't have a pressure gauge and don't want to buy one, you can borough one free at O'Reilly's.

Duh. Get some B12 and shoot it into the intake. Crank. If it fires, it's a fuel problem. Then measure things.
Asking the internet for nonsense answers is not troubleshooting. Thinking is a better approach.

Some of us are more knowledgeable than others with these things. Thanks to those who took the time to offer constructive advice and possibilities to check. I appreciate the input.

I am leaning toward lack of spark...possibly even a grounded power wire.

Well ?
