I have an 89 Chevrolet z71 with a motor from an 83. It is a 5.7 / 350. This is my play truck so I am trying not to put a lot of money into it. I have replaced the spark plugs, the battery, mechanical fuel pump. It will turn over fine but will not start. I am not seeing any fuel going through the filter. What do you recommend?

Hello, I can't tell what kind of modifications may have been done, carbed engine? Filter in the carb? Take the supply line loose from the carb, aim into container, have helper crank engine, any gas? If not, take the line loose that feeds the mechanical pump, any gas, if not, try to blow through the line.
