1985 Ford F-150 Truck (EFI) Fuel Problems

My Old 1985 Ford F-150 (5.0, 302 - EFI) want crank, it was running fine. The next day it want crank, I sprayed fuel injection it will run and then cut on.I changed the fuel filter in the reservoir and i noticed there is no gas in the reservoir when i took it back off to check it. I took the fuel lines loose down stream of the fuel pump and turn the switch as attempting to crank, no fuel coming out of the Electric Fuel Pump.I have reset the Cut Off Switch / Inertia Switch and it still want crank. I traced the fuel lines and I cant find another fuel filter. Need help please.

1987 F150 rough idle, stalls, smells rich

'87 F150 with a 302 V8, just put a new engine in (from a '96 but changed over all the sensors to the '87 style to keep my original wiring for the batch flow speed density EFI and computer) it starts but runs rough and smells rich, the timing is ok, and all plugs are gapped well, fresh gas, new air filter, new fuel pump and filter, plug wires good and cap/rotor good. When put in gear it wants to stall and usually does, when accelerator is pressed it coughs and stalls. I can only think it's a vacuum leak but i've never had a vacuum leak problem before, so not sure what is the fastest way to fix this thing. thanks

If it is not found behind the passenger side kick-panel, then check under the dash, below the heater case, and behind the carpet on the passenger side. Here are diagrams to assist you.6658478.jpg

Easyer to explain then it is to get a diagram. Standing facing your truck cylinders are numbered 1 to 6. The front most cylinder being one and the back one closest to the cab is 6. The blackened terminal on the distributor cap indicates the number one spark plug wire position. In clockwise order from the blackened terminal firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4.
