fuel pump not giving gas to carburator
-
i had the fuel pump rebuilt,the gas tank cleaned (inside),but for some reason the gas does not reach the carburator also cleaned gas lines.any suggestions? anybbody ? matter of fact it dont even give gas to the gas lines.

Providing the fuel pump was rebuilt properly, did you check the pick up tube filter before you installed it? Other then that there is no reason for the pump not to do it's job.
Also, you are saying that the fuel does not reach the carb. So I will assume that you are checking fuel pressure of fuel out of the line before the carb and not fuel squirting into the manifold form the carb.

+1 on the blocked pickup tube. When I got my '48 Packard, I ended up running a wire about 20" into the pickup tube, and spraying carb cleaner every time I pulled the wire out. I also removed the cap and used air to see if it's blocked. So it's air, carb cleaner, wire, repeat. Keep doing this until you get it unplugged. I'm betting this is your problem.
