>Tonight has been a very frustrating evening.  As many of you know I have
been
fighting a fuel starvation problem.  The fuel filter is definately not the
problem and is installed correctly.  I cannot get the fuel pump to pump gas
up
to the carburetors.  I installed a new fuel pump with the proper spacer and
I
am not getting any fuel flow from the pump.  I removed the new pump and
installed the old pump and again no fuel flow through the pump.  What is
the
problem here?

It's quite possible that the lobe on the jack shaft that drives the pump
has worn down.  Have you tried an electric pump?
