Trouble with fuel pump

Ok here it is i have a 63 chev C-10 with a inline 6 theres 15 bucks of fuel in the tank all hoses are hooked up with a plastic see thru filter i wasn't getting any fuel to the filter so i replaced the pump. im still not getting any fuel to the filter. My head is spinning here can any one help me with this or maybe just shove it off a cliff.......

 

The 'sock' on the pickup tube in the tank is stopped up.

 

Took out the pick up there is nothing put the tube,,, no filter nothing.

 

How about connecting the inlet side of the fuel pump to a small gas can (with gas in it of course) and see if it will run off that, then troubleshoot the lines, tank, and tank strainer. A rusty steel fuel line seeping air will cause a no fuel situation as well as rust in the tank clogging the strainer.

I would disconnect the fuel line at the carb and fill the hose up with fuel, this helps it make vacuum to **** the fuel up. I had to do this for my 49 dodge 230 six.

 

Sweet i will try both as soon as i get home. I am about to just run a electric put hell thats 130 bucks,,,, U know how much beer that is?

 

Time to unhook all of the conections and exercise your air hose. Then when you hook everything back up pressureize the tank from the fill tube and purge out all of the air. Just wrap your air gun with a shop rag and push it into the fill tube to pressureize it. This should force fuel all the way to the carb (unhook the carb fitting before you pressureize the system). After finishing this roll over the engine with the starter and make sure your getting fuel out of the line. It should function correctly if everything checks out.

Oh yea!! Forgot about the beer. If you save the money by purging the system go buy the beer and then you can watch the $$$$' flow down the urinal an hour later. Much better use of the money

Ok i think between all the ideas you guys gave me i should be able to get it running or atleast cause some kind of rukus. Im out front of the Washington State Patrol as the ol lady is in there for a 911 operator job atleast if i blow my self up she will be the first to know.

 

Ok I got fuel to the carb. But the dam thang still won't start it tries but just sputters the the carb started leaking from the bottom in front. What you guys think should I just buy a new car or am I just wasting 200 bucks. By the way what kind of carb is this thing I know it's a 1 berrel but what kind all stock on this thing.
