Rerouting fuel lines from sender

[fleming442]

Are you sure the firing order is correct? Oldsmobile distributors turn counter clockwise.

I thought you had an electric pump. Are you using the old 5/16 vent line for your fuel line? If that line has a hole in it the pump will never draw fuel from the tank

Yes thats what im doing , and also i redid all the rubber lines and never touched the steel lines
i will know if this solve my fuel pick up issue once i fill it up.

Yes im aware and the firing order is on the intake as well. One of m y spark plug wires comes loose when i rotate the cap so i just ordered a new set of wires and plugs from rock auto less than 29 shipped.

Once i redo the wires and spark plugs , im going fill the tank and if my baby dont stay running im down to ignition switch as last possible solution. It cranks but wont run. Also im not good with carburators so thats going be my last stab at it before i scrap the 307which id hate todo. Less than 75000 miles on it from a 83 le sabre

Hello, everyone. I wanted to thank you guys for all help and tips. I wanted to update this for anyone having same issues with fuel pick up.

I blew compressed air through all lines,
Fabricated my own line and was still having pick up issues on the new line.
After months of hard work,( mostly thinking) I found a solution by getting a low pressure fuel pump 4-7 psi and ran it to switch. It primes the lines real well. I still have my mechanical pump and this combination should help any fuel starved rod. I feel like such a newbie but I'm self taught and most my lessons come from not knowing and trying everything to get it right any ways thanK you guys.
