Default Pump runs but no fuel???

I have a 98 Z just put in a walbro 255 a few days ago after my stock pump died. Drove the car a half mile home after i put the pump in, then drove it alittle the next day. now i go to start it today and nope, no fuel. I can hear the pump working but it isnt getting any fuel at the rails. i jumped the fuel pump relay terminals to turn the pump on and its deffinatley running. i also changed the fuel filter and the lines have fuel in them...any suggestions??

Check the hose on the pump, I had to take mine out the day after installing it cause the hose came off where it attaches to the assembly, luckily I cut the access door so I had it out again in 10 minutes.

Same thing happened to me and I did the cut the acess door as well. Hopefully you get it and don't have to drop the tank. I used a screw clamp to secure that hose

Well turns out the hose came off the fitting on the sending unit, not the pump side but the other. I ended up dropping the tank and put fuel injection hose clamps on both ends of the hose. Took me about 4.5hrs by myself in my gravel driveway after about 6inches of snow the day before...i forgot how much i hate working on the ground, im so soar and tired
