Took fuel injected motor out of 1993 road master, put it in my 1988 caprice after swapping intake manifold and put a fuel pump on. Fuel pump is not working, I have tried a different fuel pump but did not work, I have also primed fuel lines

Are you getting power to the pump? Have you checked the fuel pump relay for power? Is it working? Is the security light staying on?

You need a electric fuel pump for the motor. If it is a throttle body with 2 injectors, it should be 15 lbs. If it is tune port, you need 45 lbs.
