fuel line trouble
Reply #1 –
Did fuel squirt out of the valve, either during cranking, or immediately afterwards?
If it just trickled out, or none at all, you have a blockage, or something in the tank obstructing the pickup...
Do the '83's have an electric pump, or were they mechanical, driven off of the cam?
If it's a cam driven style, did you get the lever mounted to the eccentric correctly? It has to go in just so-so, or you won't have fuel pressure.
BTW, any codes?
Welcome to the best place...someone will be along soon that knows far more than I about the earlier FoxBirdCougars. :)
