1982 Regal Crank No Start. Fuel Problem???

[juuced82regal]

Ok first offf whats up to every1 on here. I have been fixing up this lowrider I had bought a few months ago. So today I moved and was moving the car to the new house. It has been running decent until today when I started it it fired up and I let it idle for about 10 15 min. Then I drove it about a mile and when I started to go on a main street with a slight hill it bogged out on me. So I start it again and it fires right up but when I give it gas it will rev high as u want then immediately bog out like its getting no gas. So I replaced the sparkplugs again because as I mentioned before they are always oil fouled but I replaced them. Checked the fuel filter and its fine, still new. Replaced fuel pump which I must add was a serious b!&$# and a half! Took me 3 hours on side of the road! Just for 2 bolts and a gasket to stay in place while installing. Anyway after the fuel pump installed I tried to start it and now it will just crank. I sprayed carb cleaner and it runs off of that then dies. I know im gettin gas because I can see when I loosen the connection that goes to the carb where the fuel filter is it spirts gas out. WTF my baby is sittin on the side of the road as we speak ready to be freakin stripped of parts and Im at my wits end. I only have 50 bucks on me till this thursday and that sucks cuz 50.00 wont help me with a tow. And in 4 days im sure someone will decide to mess with my car. What else should I do any1? I am really desperate this point and need every1s feedback. Shit I just want to move my car to my new house and put it in the garage and start workin on it. Aghhhhhh!!!!!! Im venting sorry!!!!!
When I pulled the sparkplug wires off to change plugs, one of them popped off while the metal connection from inside got stuck on the tip of the sparkplug. I got it off and tried to recrimp it back on the wire and it let the car start up while force feeding the carb with starter fluid but it just will die out when hitting the throttle. Would faulty plug wires not allow the car to burn gas enough to stay at idle and actually run under load while accelerating? I dont get it the car ran idling for 15 min fine then drove decent for about a mile then just wants to not run period.
Let me mention that a few weeks ago I had gotten a gas tank from the salvage yards because the one I had leaked bad. It was from a 84 buick regal. They gave me the fuel sending unit with the tank and I noitced the tank I got had a decent size dent in it but no leaks. So when I installed it I fired it up and it actually ran enough for me to back it up in another parking spot in apartments. So then I cut it off and ended up wanting to move the car again and it just wouldnt start or stay running only unless forcefeding it . It actually did what the car is doing now.
Anyway I pulled the tank off and checked the fuel sending unit. it was some what bent at the bottom from the impact of the tank being dented. the copper tubing on bottom of sending unit sitting on bottom of tank inside I just opened it open a little and left it alone. Then I noticed on top of the gas tank where your fuel sending unit sits you have connections. On the tank I got from the junkyard that was a "84 regal" has 3 lines comiing off top. My old tank only has 2 lines. I tried to crimp the line closed that was in the center and hooked the other two lines up the way I thought it should be looking off of the old sending unit. That didnt work so I opened it up some and it started and ran a few weeks till all this started happening. So... if there is 3 pipes coming off the sending unit from the 84 regal and 2 pipes coming from mine. What is the other line for? Air? because it ran when I opened it up. Or is there not suppose to be air into the fuel lines and tank?

Rememnber there is a filter in the fuel tank, was it there if so it could be restricted, hard to tell just by looking at it. One line is a tank vent, one is a line from the vapor cannister.

Thanks for repsonding. I managed to check if it was getting gas in the carb with a light while hitting the throttle and it sounded like it was but wasnT So i just took fuel filter out and it ran. All this drama and a fuelfilter is the culprit I guess. Filter looks new still because I replaced it beginning of last month. Dont get it.

That JY gas tank may be full of crud and the crud may have stopped up your filter. Can you easily blow air through the filter? No telling how long that tank was sitting in the JY lot rusting on the inside! Do not run it without a filter, otherwise you will fill up the carb with crud! If I were you, I would install an inline filter before the carb filter and run both until you see what the problem is. BTW, why would you buy a tank that had a bad dent in it?

Yes I was able to blow through the fuel filter. I bought the gas tank because I was really desperate at the time. I had fuel leaking everywhere and a jy happened to have one for 50 bucks. Cant beat that with a stick when an emergency happens. I think your right about the dirty gas. But dont understand why fuel filter seems to be clogged when it dont seem like it. Looks clean still and can blow through it.
