I’m not saying replacing the fuel pump is a bad idea but personally I don’t think you have a problem there, it may just be vapor locked and if you draw fuel into it as I suggested it can prime and work again.
Okay. I know it’s been a LONG time since I posted on here, but I just wanted to give everyone and update. As of right now, I got the engine to start thanks to you guys. Big thanks to all who posted.
I rebuilt the carb. (never did that before so it was quite the experience), cleaned all battery contacts, replaced spark-plugs and wires, replaced the fuel pump (because we realized the pump was spraying gas into the block), and emptied all the old gas out and replaced it with new.
The truck runs! The only thing I am worried about now is that there seems to be a miss, but I’m going to say that’s because it hasn’t ran in years.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the update. Give it time. The miss might smooth out in time if it hasn’t run in a while. If not, do a power balance test to see if you can find the effected cylinder.
