Re: 1985 not getting fuel
hows about the fuel filter, seems like thats the only thing you've not mentioned. Is the pump actually running....and is there gas in the tank. May sound like I'm being an idiot, but more than once cars have run out of gas and the gauge has shown a reading.

Re: 1985 not getting fuel
Mine runs out at an 1/8 of a tank
 Sometimes the gauge sending units wear out and do that. You didn't mention if it's a 4 or a 6, but either way a fuel pressure regulator could do it... busted wire to the injector on a 4 could, too. And as already said, crap in the fuel filter and or lines will do it as well.

Re: 1985 not getting fuel
Does the fuel pump run when the key is turned to on? If so the supply line is clogged. If not, there's an obvious wiring problem or maybe a defective fuel pump, it happens with new parts once and awile.
