[T3] Fuel Pump


Howdy all....

I've been trying to get my '73 Fi Square started for a while now... I
wasn't getting fuel to the engine... pulled out the gas tank.... took
the outlet bolt thingy off.... the filter should have came with it but
it didn't.. it got stuck in the hole... the filter was clogged with
probably a 1/8 ounce of rust dust and chunks.... along with the bolt
hole thing.... and the bottom of the tank is covered in goop... gonna
have the tank bolied... someone on this list suggested that.... put
the tank back in.... hooked it all up but left the fuel level sensor
off to look in tank....(will this cause some pressure problem)  ...
the fuel pump was whinning... but no gas..  
Took the outlet line off the pump... (the middle line right?) turned
the key on... nothing came out... felt outlet... no pressure... or
suction for that matter.... and the pump continued to whine....
Last time I had taken the pump head off to clean it because it didn't
even whine at the time... cleaned all tarnish out put back the
o-rings... (boy that was tough) and the•vÕned.... when I took it
off this last time I noticed that I had bolted it on wrong.. .I had it
turned a quarter turn off.... but I fixed that.... and still no
outlet.... 

What do you guys suggest.... do I need to rebuild the pump... can
I.... I just wanna get a new one... but no parts store around seems to
have one.. anyone got a spare....

whew.. I tried to be descriptive not long winded.... :o)
