Default 59A fuel pump push rod

The continuing saga of no fuel to the carbs. In another thread I posted an image of a modified push rod that measured 9" and made a loud knocking sound. (see images) I exchanged it for the 8.87" stock length rod thinking it would be the solution. No gas to the carbs. I also replaced the fuel pump with the glass bowl type that was on it. Since I have an edelbrock manifold I have been told I should have bought the shorter (7 7/8") rod. With the pump and stand removed I turned the motor over with my hand on the top of the rod just to see if there was any movement with the cam lobe spinning against the rod. Nothing, nada, zero.

What are your conclusions, please?

Thanks,

Phil
