1982 Not Getting Fuel
Hello! I have an 82 that will not fire because there is no fuel getting to the TBs. I pulled the fuel pump and it works when I connect it straight to a battery. When I meter the wires coming from the car going to the pump I am only getting 8.5 volts. When I meter the fuel pump fuse with the key on, I get 0 on both sides of the fuse. I'm pretty sure that is where my problem is but I'm not sure where to go next. I have not dug into the fuel pump relay yet but I believe the power should start at the fuse block, so I think I need to sort that out first.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Check the 20amp fuse in the battery box. If that is bad, the engine will crank, will have spark, but no fuel. Hope that is your issue.
