Fuel pump options

1969 GMC C15 w/ 230 straight 6

Ok, folks. Need some advice here.

I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out why the pump isn't sending any fuel. Replaced old pump back in January and it worked fine. Didn't touch the truck again until a few weeks ago and found the pump wasn't functioning. It was under warranty so I slapped a new one in and it's not working either.

I even tried running a line directly from a portable tank to the pump inlet and still no joy. Am I missing something obvious?

On a related note....do I have an option of converting over to an electric pump? If the price is right and the install is easy, I'm kinda liking the idea of ditching the mechanical pump.

Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
