1979 Lincoln Town Car V8 Automatic 50k miles

IVE WENT THROUGH LOTS OF PROCEDURES. I CANT GET THE FUEL TO THE CARB. IT CRANKS OVER, NO START. IM GETTING SPARK THROUGH PLUG WIRES. NEW FUEL FILTER, NEW PUMP, CHECKED LINES FOR LEAKS. I SUCKED ON THE FUEL LINE AT THE CARB IT TAKES ABOUT 6 GOOD SUCKS THEN FUEL COMES UP. SO I ATTACH THE LINE BACK TO CARB AND NOTHING. THERE IS A HALF TANK OF GAS.? THAT ARM ON THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN ITS IN THE BLOCK, DOES IT GO IN A SPECIAL WAY? DOES IT SLIDE INTO SOMETHING IN THE BLOCK? I COULD SURE USE SOME MORE ADVICE. THANKS

Hi Willisteaz, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Check if the fuel line is clogged if so use compressed air. If not while installing the fuel pump did you use a long bolt to hold the fuel pump push rod in place if not you use heavy grease to hold it in place. If installed properly an continues-Use a vacuum gauge on the inlet of the fuel pump-should be getting vacuum this is what sucks the fuel from the fuel tank then get push to the carb thru the outlet.
