Re: Trying to start it

So I worked on the car for a few hours tonight. I Knew if had some type of fuel system but wasn't sure what kind. It's an Aeromotive system with a shiny red fuel filter and pump with braided lines running down the underside next to the stock lines. It also had a Pressure gauge inside the engine bay. I got the pump that pump to turn on via a switch run inside the car and it's damn loud. It seems to be running but 3 different pressure gauges both say there is no pressure.

Obviously, the stock pump is not being used but I was going to try and get it going to test and make sure it's the current pump acting up. I took out the filter and the pump, drained the fuel from them and then replaced them. Because of the way the braided fuel lines were hooked up I couldn't substitute the Walbro for the current pump using the braided lines.

Before all this I checked the front three spark plugs and they looked fine from what I know. They were kinda black and dirty but not bad. I also think they're the NGK Copper plugs because this car has a nitrous system on it. I don't know if I should swap them out until one day down the road if or when I decide to run the nitrous.

So now I'm not sure where to go with it. I guess I can either get a new pump that is similar to the old one. Or I can try to wire up the stock pump again and figure out how to hook up the stock fuel lines in the engine bay again. I've never done anything with fuel systems so I'm not very knowledgeable.

Thanks for any more help or ideas you all can provide.
