I bought a new fuel pump for my '51 Ford truck and it doesn't seem to be pumping. I have been told that the cam lobes under the push rods for the fuel pumps wear on flatties and once that happens you either have to replace the cam or go with an electric pump. Do you have to prime a new pump? If so, what's the best way? Also, I have an old electric pump that runs but doesn't pump. I took it apart and there doesn't seem to be any exessive wear. Do you have to prime electric pumps too, and if so, how?
