the old 82 pumps were not very good when they were new. replace with 85-87 pump .If there is no fuel coming out at the fuel filter ,then the pump is bad or the pump sock is plugged.,

You don't say if you got any codes or not, but there are some procedures on page 6E-24 of your Service Manual you can use to troubleshoot the fuel pump relay and associated circuits. It should help find the missing 12 volts.

If i turn key after couple second it gets power from white and tan to red so relay good then cranking engine after couple seconds the fuse panel gets power but still no fuel will install new pump and c if that makes a difference
