Where did you get the Walbro pump? If you got it off of ebay, it's most likely a Chineese knock off pump. They seldom last very long.

I checked the schraeder valve and gas spews out like crazy when pressed. When car is put into 1st it starts to stall and if i move it to neutral it comes back to life but if re'ed in neutral it will die

Update checked all fuses everything good. Checked for codes none. One of the positve cables that goes to the fuse box is exposed a bit i guess from hitting the balancer will replace along with the alternator cable

Get a fuel pressure gauge and verify the fuel pressure.

Ok guys I checked the pressure at the rail it was only about 20 psi so I guess I will be removing and replacing the fuel pump. Would the fuel pressure regulator affect flow
