Model B Fuel Pump Issue

[Cris]

I'm not getting any fuel to the carb on a 1932 Model B motor. I've cleaned out the tank and the line, replaced the fuel pump, and have isolated the issue to the pump itself...it doesn't seem to be pulling anything from the tank at all (when I cleaned the fuel line it was bone dry.)

I've never read of having to prime a pump like this before but at the same time, I'm kind of stumped. There's no secret to installing the pump, right? I put the rocker arm in the hole/boss on the side of the block, feel it tilt as it connects with the cam lobe, bolt it on, and connect the lines...am I missing something? Any ideas?

Thanks!
