Q: Fuel pump/filter replacements no fix for fuel delivery problem - 1982 Ford F-100

asked by on September 21, 2016

My truck is straight 6 cylinders and it is having a fuel delivery problem. I have replaced the mechanical fuel pump and both of the inline fuel filters. But even after those replacements the gas is not reaching the carburetor. What can you tell me on how to fix my truck ?
