Changed my oil, and oil filter. And wires up my Lightforce strikers.

These are always popular in other car forums. Didn't see any harm in starting one here! Go!

Never mind.. Chilton's manual mislead me. A Warning to anyone using a Chilton manual regarding the 2.6 mechanical fuel pump; It's either incorrect or poorly illustrated. Nothing against Chilton. That has been my only issue so far.

So, everything is in. Cranked it over, and noooooo fuel. In getting nothing. Any ideas?
