Frustration....I'm really considering a full engine/transmission swap. I'm just tired of trying to go through it all. I've wasted a lot of money and time just trying to get it rolling. I want it on the road. Comes a point where you have to make decisions. It was in disrepair because my dad had Alzheimer's and I couldn't get him to let me put it in my shop.
Body work is going to be rough but I'll pay someone to handle most of that.

Ok, back to this since I've taken time away from it to get my mind straight a bit after throwing some tools.
Question on the electric fuel pump (Carter):
When the key is turned to on prior to starting, the pump primes for like three seconds. Throws plenty of fuel. When I fire it up, that's when pressure dies. I'm thinking it's my relay maybe? Possibly shutting off the pump? I thought the pump was still running but with just headers it's so loud when I fire it up it's hard to tell. It's running after engine dies, but wondering if that's just it priming again maybe. I don't know...lol.
Time to start changing parts out to see.

Sometimes, those are separate circuits. One to prime sending power straight to the pump and then after that, through the relay and inline with a fuel safety switch.
When set to on, test the out at the relay if you can find it. If you aren't sure, you could always run a wire straight from power to the fuel pump wire temporarily to see if power is your issue before you waste a bunch of time on it. but if you hear it stop or not running when it's supposed to be, that is the problem.
