Not getting any gas to carb. New filter, new fuel pump...

The fuel pump uses impulse air from the crankcase.

To check impulse air, leave the oil dip stick cap loose and resting freely on the fill tube. If cranking the engine causes the dipstick to move up/down then likely there's sufficient impulse air.

For the pump to operate, the tube from the pump to the crankcase cannot be cracked and must be secure at both ends. The oil fill cap must be in place with no gross leaks.

See attached pic for proper pump connections. Some pumps are different and can be confusing. The connection that is in a different plane (pump body) will be impulse input.

Possibly a stuck float on the new carb?

I'm not familiar with your vehicle (but I've just spent an afternoon fixing a similar problem on a Fiat..). It's an electric fuel pump?

Ok. There was some reason why you had a new fuel pump fitted in the first place .. had the vehicle been slowing down/cutting out? That is a symptom of a faulty/failing fuel pump, yes.. but it can also be other things.

The fuel filter was replaced? A blocked fuel filter can cause problems, though it's unlikely that no fuel would actually get to the carb.

Can you remove the gas filler cap and disconnect the fuel line where it enters the engine bay and get somebody to turn the ignition on? Fuel should literally spurt out. Removing the gas cap and disconnecting the fuel line will purge any air in the system. removing the gas cap also allows air into the tank and prevents a 'partial vacuum' which restricts fuel supply.

If you disconnect the fuel line and switch the ignition on you should hear the in tank electric fuel pump working.

You mention carbs ... Does your car have injection or carbs?
If it is a carb model .. a sticking fuel float will cut off fuel supply into the engine.

Your first action should be to disconnect the fuel line somewhere in the engine bay, and turn on the ignition. If fuel spurts out the problem lies in the injector/carbs.

If no fuel comes out the problem lies with the pump/tank.

It could be. Since you have a carburetor, you must have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine? Only some imports with carburetors had an electrical pump.

If your filter is in the line just before the carburetor, take the line off at the filter, then crank the engine over to see if the pump is working. Mechanical fuel pumps will pump gas when the engine is cranking or running. Use a jar or can to catch the gas. If pump is working, fuel will come out in small spurts. It's not under high pressure- carbs don't need high pressure. If no gas comes out of the line, you probably need a new fuel pump. If the pump is working, it could be the filter, but could also be the needle valve and seat at the carb's fuel inlet. Sometimes they get stuck closed and won't let gas into the carburetor.

Well if the pump works then follow the pump fuel lines to the engine,you will find the fuel filter then replace it and will also see petrol if any in it ,if not pump isent working ,if dirty replace it and blow air back from carby to filter to clean out pipe
,turn on ign fuel should come to filter and then with new filter in turn on fuel and see if any comes to carby if ok it should start and run.
Have a goodday,

Here's a quote from amy Chilton's manual for 1980-1987.

"Several types of fuel filters are used. One is located in the fuel tank of all the vehicles and is part of the fuel guage assembly. Second is a sealed paper element, in-line unit; mechanical system- located on the engine (above the fuel pump) or electrical system- located in front of the fuel tank. Third is a paper element, in-line fuel filter/vapor separator, housed in a fuel resevoir. Normally, the in-tank filter does not require changing. If it does, the fuel tank must be removed. "
This thing you describe sounds like the typical Chrysler in-line filter of its day. It is nothing more than the same generic in-line plastic see-thru filter you buy for your lawn mower except in the 70's and 80's it was covered in metal and had a Chrysler part number. A lot of guys added an extra filter in those days, it wasn't the best system. I would remove the outlet line and turn the fuel pump on, see if you get fuel. Replace if needed.

if it is fuel inj. check for good fuel pressure. maybe fuel pump in gas tank.

try running the vehicle without the feul cap and see if it quites or keeps running.

mcdevito75 here, You"ll have to trace the fuel lines from the gas tank to the carb. look for kinks, breaks, beds in the fuel lines. Also change the gas filter.

check the fuel pump, maybe it is not working. if you put a new accelerator pump, I wonder if it's same as the fuel pump. if so, maybe you need to rebuild your carb, clean the small fuel line in the carb, something block there.
