it might be clogged in between the line somewhere,,or you may have a line that is collapsed,,or closed off,because it should get fuel if it is pumping it to the filter,,another thing too ,make sure the filter is good ,,very often a clogged filter will cause this,,other wise you need to start looking at the line,s really good,,also check,,and make sure it is not vapor locked,,in hot weather this can happen,,try taking the fuel cap off and see if it releases pressure,,and the re-try to start it,,you may also have to take the line off at the throttle body and let some fuel flow through it to get it to bleed out,,otherwise,,there is no other reason i can think of that will cause this,,other than a really weak fuel pump,,i hope this help,s some.

It all depends. A properly sized and tuned carburetor will give practically the same horsepower on the same engine when compared to a similar fuel injection system. A lot of the time the difference in hp numbers as compared to a fuel injection system has to do with the intake (like on the TPI engines) or the type/size of the fuel injection if you're looking at a TBI unit - this is why a lot of guys claim carbs are superior. Fuel injection isn't really all that complicated, especially now with the advent of self-learning FI computers like the FAST unit. The big hassle of putting a later FI engine into an older nova would have to be with reconfiguring the fuel tank to accommodate the return lines and pump, changing the plumbing as necessary to accommodate the higher fuel pressure, and adapting as necessary the wiring, transmission (later LS type engines have different dimensions on the trans mount) and the signals to your gauges. The later engines, however, have a wealth of new tech in them that makes them superior in hp and reliability/driveability when compared to first gen engines. Would it be worth it? That depends on whether you would consider the price tag on such a swap as being worth it! You could always overhaul your existing engine and put fuel injection on it - either by scrounging FI systems, or going with an aftermarket FI system like Holley sells. Then, you'll have the reliability/driveability, and you can up your horsepower numbers by looking at aftermarket heads.

If your filter is new....prime your pump by turning ignition on and off several times. If it won't take fuel and start the process, you'll need a new pump. Good luck.

Have you checked if your fuel filter is not clogged? Maybe it needs to be replaced.

New pump or just new "Fuel Pump Relay"? check the relay and the "fuse" before you replace the pump.
