fuel pump on Flathead 6
does the fuel pump on a flathead 6 connect to just the cam, or is there supposed to be a push rod when installed, to operate the pump's lever? Reason I'm asking, when I pulled the fuel pump and pumped it manually with the use of a fuel can, it sprays as it should, but when I place it back on the block and crank the engine, no fuel comes out of the port to the carb. any advice...

There is no rod. The lever runs on the cam. Check the lever for wear and check the cam lobe to see if it is worn. Hope it's the pump.

Check the flexible line from the gas line to the pump. If it is old, it could be sucking air and you will not get fuel to the pump.

I had this happen to me with an old Ford truck. Finally checked the rubber hose, sure enough it was rotted, had pin holes and the pump couldn't draw. So yes check the rubber hose.
