wont start i have a 55 chevy i did a 53 swap in, all was great been driving for 8 years i guess maybe more , this is second time , the first time my car wouldnt start i pulled my hair out trouble shooting and finely changed battery and started right up, this time i drove to town to car meet and drove home washed and cleaned it and must have left the door ajar or something it cranks fine but i only here the fuel pump for a sec, normally i here it longer, i got a new battery and same thing.
so my question is why ? its cranks fine ( fast ) but no fuel pump or hit
the first time i checked the fuel pressure and 2 relays found nothing all i did was charge the battery, this time must be something different . iam going under and check all my grounds .
what else can i check ?

i did all these things the last time it did this, the common thing i notice the fuel pump only runs for a sec at most, it normally runs longer 5 or 5 sec ? ill check pressure at fuel rail and see what i have to start with, if i have 58 or so after it shuts off ill go on to something else
thanks
thanks

I went out this morning and plugged in relays and turned the key on and heard the fuel pump for the long term and started right up, could I have had a bad relay or stuck relay ? is there a better relay to get ?
